WHITE NOISE TRIO

Theoretically, "white noise" could be described with the formula S (f) = const, because the term comes from physics. For the White Noise Trio, “white noise” refers to the acoustic original mass from which tones, sounds, melodies and rhythms develop in a creative process. At first it was nothing! Then came a sound! The trio consisting of Robin Hartkopf (drums), Florian Dupuy (bass) and Stefan Merz (piano) draw their music from a whole range of possibilities, because all three have already dealt intensively with other genres. Out of free improvisation, they create pieces that can be located in “modern melodic jazz” and present the audience in the Machmit! Museum for children with their compositions developed out of “white noise”. On this autumn day, the rustling of the book pages will also be heard in the background - the current exhibition in the museum is dedicated to the books. About the White Noise Trio: White Noise Trio is a Berlin based modern jazz group formed in 2015 by Robin Hartkopf (Drums), Stefan Merz (Piano) and Florian Dupuy (Double Bass). White noise, from a physical point of view, simply means a test signal containing the whole spectrum of audible frequencies. But for Hartkopf, Merz, and Dupuy, white noise means a musical approach to developing songs out of free improvisations, reflecting the fragile moment when a melody first begins to evolve, and diffuse frequencies get shaped into harmonies and rhythm. Coming from different musical backgrounds, White Noise is exactly the point where Hartkopf, Merz & Dupuy meet to merge their contrasting influences into an exciting rendition of modern melodic jazz.
