Pioneering Swiss trombonist and composer Andreas Tschopp marries contemporary jazz with South African kudu horns and homemade ocarinas, creating a record quite unlike anything you've heard before. What if We Align Our Breath disregards the curvature of borders, genre, and time itself - tugging a thread through the history of wind instrumentation with ghostly agility.
Together with his album co-producer, Johannesburg-based bassist and producer Shane Cooper, they create a 360° experience through this unique music, with a live Duo set on wind and string instruments and samplers, a record listening session, and a talk about the album.
What If We Align Our Breath is an entrancing and layered record that simultaneously wakes us back into ourselves and edges our awareness beyond us. This is music that asks for minds that trust their spirits. It reminds us of the sovereignty of our souls, their interconnectedness, and their ungovernability.
About the Venue
Located in the Maingate Building at Durban’s Point
Waterfront Precinct, The Courtyard at New Noise is a dynamic cultural event
space. It is proudly run by New Noise, a multidisciplinary creative studio.
Historically, the Point Police and Fire Station, the building has been
reimagined as a hub for art and design.
While it functions as the New Noise design studio during the week, the space is intended to adapt—transforming its courtyard and interior to host a vibrant mix of music, film, design, and cultural events.
