What If We Align Our Breath - Album Launch

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.
