On Dog is a trans-European project, started and led by Francesco Bigoni and Mark Solborg. It presents a unique selection of original, sought-after musicians from Italy, Denmark and Luxembourg playing new contemporary music with an edge.

Together and invidually the members of On Dog have played and recorded with such prominent artists as Evan Parker, Gianluca Petrella, Enrico Rava, Stefano Battaglia, Greg Cohen, Jim Black, AACM, Herb Robertson, Chris Speed, Paal Nilssen-Love, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Hank Roberts, Bobby Previte and many others.

Musically speaking, it is essentially a study on counterpoint and polyphony which allows five performers (all composers and free improvisers) to be confronted by through-composed pieces.

Here Francesco Bigoni and Mark Solborg’s voices and pens meet again after their first encounter: the Danish- Canadian trio Hopscotch. Hopscotch is melted with the Italian saxophone/clarinet trio Crisco 3 to generate an unusual constellation which ranges from transparent, chamber-like passages to rocking bursts of sound.
