about
Columbus Ensemble are Irek Swoboda (bass), Tomek Swoboda (guitar), Pawel Mozejko (trumpet) and Tomek Piotrowski (drums), formerly members of polish noise pioneers, Thing. This project reveals the interest of its members for non-linear textures and dynamics. Columbus Ensemble had already revealed their austerely minimalist soundscape playing live with Couch and Ewa Braun, when the former Thing’s guitarist completed the line-up, this time playing the trumpet and signaling the new change in focus. Again as a quartet, the band started to forge a distinct and wildly experimental fusion of jazz, noise and minimal, acclaimed by the German and Danish public during the tour in 2001. The same year saw the first Columbus’ album, issued on the Dead Sailor label. This “debut” contains exclusively instrumental development of the band’s experiences throughout all the decade. The record plays to every nuance that Columbus has exhibited these last years and proposes a mélange of different sonic concepts that the critics compare with the new Chicago scene.
