DRIFT by Johannes Haage
Johannes Haage -guitar, compositions (1-4,6,7)
Matthias Pichler - bass
Joe Smith -drums, compositions (5,8-10)
The three musicians of German, Austrian and American origin met in their current home-base Berlin and have been playing extensively as a Trio for over three years.
“Drift” is their debut recording. It features compositions by guitarist Johannes Haage and drummer Joe Smith which offer a great variety of stylistic starting points from which they embark on new musical journeys together, creating open spaces for spontaneous improvisation and mutual interplay. As in a dreamlike state, their music drifts from sparse to dense, from pop-like structures to free improvisation - but always staying true to the melody of the song and the calling of the moment.
