There can be many reasons for forming a band. Perhaps it is the desire to find a common language. One that can be more intimate, more poetic, more precise, or more vague. One that evolves, just like those who speak it. Shaped by encounters, always becoming. In the case of the Zurich-based four-piece band District Five and its members Vojko Huter, Paul Amereller, Tapiwa Svosve, and Xaver Rüegg, this proves to be true: the multi-instrumentalists have been meeting in the rehearsal room and beyond for over ten years, reflecting on themselves, their friendship, their influences, and experiences in their music. The result is a work that keeps on moving. Sometimes closer to jazz, sometimes pop, sometimes further away from it, but always close to itself. The band gives the friends the ability to act, which could also be described as agency: to reflect on and shape the thing we call life.
