Free & Improvisation Jazz at Peppi Guggenheim

The sound of the quartet borrows as much, if not more, from experimental hybrids of rock as it does from free jazz and improvisational forms. The music is at times highly energetic, dynamic and complex whilst delivering the strong punch and solidity of heavy rock music. (from www.freejazzblog.org )


  • Chris Pitsiokos – alto sax, compositions
  • Jasper Stadhouders – guitar
  • Dan Peter Sundland – bass
  • Luca Marini – drums

Chris Pitsiokos:
My mode of composition with CP Unit has evolved over the years, and has basically gotten looser and looser with time. The first album involved „charts“ basically, with fully written out unique parts, different sections that specified who was to improvise at a given point, etc. As things progressed, I got looser and sometimes only dictated a couple of melodies and left the bandmates to build structures in real time. Other pieces like „The Tower“ have a written part, but then some process is applied, in this case a subtractive process (the musical phrases keep getting cut off the beginning, until we are just left with the final phrases).
