Swiss electronician Tomas Korber started releasing music about fifteen years ago, right when the Swiss saxophone quartet Konus Quartett (Christian Kobi, Fabio Oehrli, Jonas Tschanz, Stefan Rolli)  was formed. Korber has worked with major figures from the electroacoustic improvisation scene (Günter Müller, Jason Kahn, Keith Rowe) and the onkyo improvisation scene (Toshimaru Nakamura, Otomo Yoshihide). As a composer, his impeccable works revolve around an immersion into stripped-down, silence-pregnant, interrelation-rich sound worlds.

Bio Konus Quartett

The saxophone quartet is primarily perceived as a classical jazz formation, and secondly as a sound body for arrangements of baroque and classical pieces. A third and particularly interesting way is practiced by the Swiss Konus Quartet, which is dedicated to a radically contemporary version of playing on four saxophones.
As a chamber music ensemble with a changeable line-up, the Konus Quartet has been inspiring with expressive and unconventional sounds for more than 15 years.
