This pair of songsmiths sit just as comfortably next to Tom Waits as they do next to Matthew Herbert, providing they’re all holidaying somewhere exotic at the time.
By now their unruly live set was also the stuff of legends, propelling them into the frenetic pace of life on the road. With Nôze & Band they surge ever outwards, feeding the wild accomplishments of their past into a staggering tapestry of sound that embraces yet more distinguished classical musicianship. Nôze & Band features four musicians sharing the same passion for improvised music. Although each member brings to the project their own influence based upon varying musical backgrounds, the common denominator for them all was Jazz and contemporary sounds. From the very beginning, the band has helped develop the Nôze concept. Nôze want to represent another side of their music, a side where you don’t only listen with your ears or your feet, but with your heart and soul. They aim to recompose their music on stage in a more substantial, creative and rich manner, void of inhibitions and thus providing limitless possibilities, bringing each musician into his own. They have been one of the forerunners in freeing their live from track beginnings and endings – instead improvising their works and bringing in the energy, absurdity and spontaneity that defines Nôze & Band. Machines and programming are a core part of the show, but the tracks are also played instrumentally, allowing every musician to bring his own imagination, inspirations, and liberties together with an indispensable nuance that compliments, if not carries, the Nôze Band experience on it’s broad, collective shoulders.
