Late Night Jazz "Spazieren in Berlin"

Another track from the album "Styr" (Foolish Music, 2008). Two voices in two different worlds: Dietmar Bonnen sings bluesy and relaxed (Lyrics by Robert Johnson) and also plays the prepared piano. Gabriele Hasler improvises and whispers enigmatic words of a forgotten language.

Gabriele Hasler 
Voice, words, composition,improvisation, electronics, performances

Gabriele Hasler studied among others at the Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA. Since the early 80ties she performed with several ensembles and band projects in Europe, South Asia and North Africa. With her singing and her compositions she is considered as one of the most interesting European voices.
She combines elements of free improvisation, jazz, avant-garde and world music creating a very individual and contemporary style. She writes her own poetry and also often refers to modern poets such as Gertrude Stein.  Her singing can be considered as a process of exploring the limits of the human voice.

As a soloist she has been invited to work with several larger ensembles (among others with symphony orchestra). Among others she wrote compositions for large church choir. She can be heard on 25 CD/LPs and leads her own record label Foolish Music.

To teach her own and individual approach of improvised singing, she gives many workshops.
Her main interest is vocal group improvisation including circle singing, free improvisation and elements of performance (“Klangbad”).

With her solo performance “G.bete 365” she was invited to the LEM Festival, Barcelona and to the Festival of the Museum Vostell, Malpartida, Spain.


She has worked with Claus Bantzer, Bob Degen, Louis Sclavis, Andreas Willers, Elvira Plenar, Hans Lüdemann, Günter „Baby „ Sommer, Céline Rudolph, Jaap Blonk, Ravish Momin, Bernd Konrad, Lauren Newton, John Wolf Brennan, Lindsey Cooper, Adelhard Roidinger, Christof Lauer, Bobo Stenson, Matthias Schubert, Manfred Bründl, Claudio Puntin, Christoph Thewes, Oskar Pastior, Hakim Ludin, Urs Leimgruber, Jörn Schipper, Jürgen Wuchner, Han Bennink, Arkadij Schilkloper, Daniele Patumi, Gunter Hampel, Urs Leimgruber, Salome Kammer, Wolfgang Stryi, Dietmar Bonnen, Reggie Workman, Andrew Cyrille, Roger Hanschel, Wollie Kaiser, Thomas Heberer, Lars Lindvall, Christian Muthspiel, Georg Ruby, Dieter Manderscheid and others
