When Morgenthaler plays his trombone he creates a blueprint of improvisation: a raw and primitive uniqueness operating beyond traditional musical boundaries! It is this Art Brut approach that characterises his music enabling its distinctiveness to transcend all musical barriers. Morgenthaler often pushes his instrument to its musical and physical limits, allowing melody and sound to communicate in rarely heard combinations of intensity and confidence. At times the sound of the trombone is alienated through electronic effects to such an extent the origin of the music cannot easily be identified. It is this "musical space" where originality and traditional songs are melded into one pure improvisation. The audience is often fascinated by the lightness with which he makes audible the process of "composing in the moment". By applying his unique use of loops and analogue effects he broadens his instrumental possibilities thereby turning it into an intellectual and sensory adventure. Morgenthaler's music is extraordinarily personalised and multilayered. It is a highly modern expression of individuality. How does it sound? It is a complex fusion of contemporary jazz working with elements of rock, pop and world music. At times it is marked by silent pauses. At others, Morgenthaler's trombone is reminiscent of black soul voices alternating between edgy complex grooves and trashy sounds. His compositions are influenced by rouguish ideas, ironies and a lot of spontaneous fun. The element of surprise in his music is high. And while the musical oscillations constantly surprise the audience, they are not simply ad hoc. Rather this understated quality is backed by a high level of technical knowledge and proficiency. A true act of modern musical genius!
