Jonas Kocher Interview

Personally, the instrumentation of the trio immediately reminded me of a Swiss folk music trio, with a certain orchestral dimension. We also have a way of breathing and circulating sounds within the ensemble that is very close to chamber music. In fact, all three of us come from a classical background! I feel very free with this trio; I have the impression that everything is possible and there is great trust between us. Frantz and I have naturally gone towards very melodic, sometimes harmonic and often repetitive modes of playing, whereas in none of our other respective projects do we go in this direction. It’s really exciting to see how one context or another will influence our playing.
