NordzuckerSince 2004 Nordzucker (Birgit Ulher – trumpet, Lars Scherzberg – saxofon, Michael Maierhof – cello) developed an individual language of sound, beyond the traditional way of using the instruments, by extended techniques, preparations with clothes pins, mutes and metal objects. The open texture of music, with lots of silence, is created with splitted, multiphonic and multilayered sounds. Their music combines the freedom of improvisation and musical precision. Their first CD is released by the portuguese label Creative Sources.
