Performance Introduction︱
Climbing without ropes: A sax player and a drummer are exploring the chances and challenges of improvising in the duo format. German-born Klaus Bru on electrified C-saxes busies himself with whirling notes, minimal cries, orchestral noises, while American-born Sorensen on drums provides elegant, tricky, always groovy rhythms, at times as light as a spring breeze, at other times as threatening as a typhoon in midsummer. Aside from dramatic peaks and occasional noisy outbursts, their improvisations are thick with melodies that wander around and find back to their center.

表演簡介︱
演奏薩克斯風的Klaus跟爵士鼓的Sorensen將透過合作演出，挑戰、尋找即興演奏的更多可能性。Klaus將以電子薩克斯風演奏出懸浮舞動的音符、微度鳴聲及管弦般的噪響，而鼓手Sorensen則將透過鼓聲的律動呈現出時而優雅、時而調皮，好似一陣微風徐徐吹拂時，轉眼間又好似歷經了颱風來襲般的緊湊。過程中除了戲劇性的高潮及偶發的即噪，兩人的即興演奏將以一種纏繞於旋律之中，即便漫步偏離也定會尋回自互相牽引的過程。
