Pulsar Trio
An "sensual states of suspension, the intoxication of free fall and the gliding over wide surfaces" reminds Deutschlandfunk Kultur of the music of the Pulsar Trio – a description that also fits the fourth studio album We Smell in Stereo, released in 2023, extremely well. Its cover is adorned with sharks, as sharks do not smell in mono; their sense of smell works in stereo.
In the pursuit of the perfect musical moment, the trio instinctively acts as a single organism with a developed, shared, and unwavering sense for their unique sound cosmos over the years. The extraordinary and likely unique combination of drums, piano, and sitar allows the trio to consistently explore musical new territories on a seemingly narrow ridge.
The result is always playful and virtuosic, oscillating between instrumental ecstasy, intimate introspection, and sensitive sound experiments: a fusion of three individual musical characters with very different backgrounds, ranging from pop with grand gestures, through GDR punk and noise, jazz, Bach, minimal music, to the classical sitar tradition from India.
Their live qualities have already been demonstrated by the Creole award winners at countless concerts. They have performed at the Leverkusen Jazz Days, the Fusion Festival, in Glastonbury, at the Rudolstadt Festival and the Delhi International Jazz Festival, at the Kulturarena Jena, as well as the İzmir European Jazz Festival.
