Artist
n 2008 the Cologne based composer and tuba player Carl Ludwig Hübsch founded a 16-head formation entitled Ensemble X. This Ensemble represents a high grade and unique concentrate of experience of big group playing within the field of contemporary improvised music. All musicians, coming from Europe and beyond, have been working since years in various orchestral improvisation and contemporary groups where they reflected on questions and methods for this special task. So members of the ensemble X were or are part of the NRW Improvisors Pool, the ensemble]h[iatus, the Multiple Joy[ce] Orchestra, the Ensemble 2INCQ, Markus Eichenberger«s Domino Orchestra or the formations Bull`s Eye Ensemble and Fineworks. Being chosen under the aspect of a homogenous playing aesthetic they work on a transparent group sound which allows a chamber musical approach even in the fullest dynamic play. Thus introspection of the smallest sound details is possible and the space for listening opens up. The Ensemble X played in Dezember 2008 in Cologne, Wiesbaden and Basel, where they opened for the symposium and concert series "little bangs". In 2011 they played in the Exploratorium, Berlin. -------------------------------------------------------------- Nicolas Desmarchelier (F) - guitare Olivier Toulemonde (F) - objects Martine Altenburger (F) - violoncello Angelika Sheridan (Köln) - flutes Dirk Marwedel (Wiesbaden) - extended saxophone Ulrich Phillip (Wiesbaden) - double bass Ulrich Boettcher (Wiesbade
