BIOGRAPHY
If you want to emphasise one characteristic of the band sound of the Viennese trio Slowklang, it is its ambiguous musical categorisability. Singer Amina Bouroyen and her two colleagues Robert Unterköfler (tenor saxophone) and Robin Gadermaier (bass) realise their very own sound, whose starting point lies in jazz, but which also branches out into other forms of music in the most beautiful way. As the name of the trio might already suggest, the three musicians take a more considered and reserved approach.
Instead of focussing on musical virtuosity, Slowklang’s pieces focus more on the creation of atmosphere in the field of tension between the composed and the improvised. The trio’s music unfolds its mood and tells its story in a very varied way. Sometimes calm and fragile, then again emotionally intense, but also with a lot of groove and energy in the right places.
