IVYMIND
Samantha Wright: Clarinet
Lothar Müller: Guitar
Giorgi Kiknadze: Bass
Rafa Müller: Drums


IVYMIND, created by the British clarinetist Samantha Wright is an exciting melting pot of improvisation, sound explorations and the search for honest music that transcends fixed genres. Her approach is inspired greatly by artists such as her former mentor Rolf Kühn, Bill Frisell and John Zorn and the delicate blends of natural and electronic sonorities. Elements of her compositions are influenced heavily by the similarities between the clarinet and the human voice, using expression, pronunciation and the natural flow of words to guide and inspire her.
