No One is an Island
„Niemand ist eine Insel, in sich ganz; jeder Mensch ist ein Stück des Kontinents, ein Teil des Festlandes.” – John Donne
Von der Illusion des Ich ohne Wir. Von Abgrenzung und Ungerechtigkeit. Von einer Welt, für die es keinen Plan B gibt.

Der Jazznacht-Mitschnitt: Sophie Hassfurther & Oguz Büyükberber, INNtöne 2020

Auf der Bühne des INNtöne-Festivals stand am 16. August 2020 ein ganz besonderes Duo: die österreichische Saxofonistin Sophie Hassfurther und der in Amsterdam lebende türkische Bassklarinettist Oguz Büyükberber. Ihr Zusammenspiel zelebriert die Reibungen und Wohlklänge, die sich zwischen diesen nah verwandten Instrumenten erzeugen lassen. Ö1 hat diese Sogwirkung erzeugenden Schwingungen exklusiv eingefangen. Xavier Plus präsentiert das mitreißende Konzert in voller Länge.

Translation: A very special duo took the stage at INNtöne Festival on August 16, 2020: Austrian saxophonist Sophie Hassfurther and Amsterdam-based bass clarinetist Oguz Büyükberber. Their interplay celebrates the frictions and sonorities that can be created between these closely related instruments. Ö1 has exclusively captured these suction-generating waves. Xavier Plus presents the exciting concert in full length.

London Jazz News mentioned our concert in their review of INNtöne Jazzfestival. How cool is that?

Contemporary/improvising bass clarinettist Oğuz Büyükberber intertwined with the sinuous saxophone playing of Viennese Sophie Hassfurther. A much more intense and different experience. Check out their duo album Mind Like Water available on Bandcamp.

Short visit to Salzburg. It is clearly Fall now.

After playing the pre-opening of #ttat #jazz #festival I payed a short visit to the most beautiful beer garden and brewery. *After* playing old #swing standards for happy listeners.

On the train back to Vienna now…

Travelling to Diersbach, near #Passau in #Germany to play at INNtöne with my #clarinet colleague Oğuz Büyükberber tomorrow. Open air. Fingers crossed for warm weather!

It is great to be back making music with other people again.

We work under very special conditions, wearing masks as much as we can, getting tested every week. I feel privileged to be able to do what I do. Apologies for the rotated phots, somehow I could not figure out why they look this way :rolling_eyes:

The Salzburg Festival is taking precautions to distance the audience from each other and us crew from the audience. As annoying as this is, at least it makes for a safe work environment.

It feels weird though, to play for half the audience:

We ended up playing the opening night inside. Moved at the last moment. Never mind the stress at the last instance. It turned out to be a very concentrated and energetic performance.
