Who takes the chance for a journey to "Istia", will hear astonishing stories. Peter Landis (bass-, tenor- and sopranosax), Herbert Kramis (doublebass) and Jan Schlegel (electric bass) don't follow just the latest trends in music: they compose, improvise, go beyond the borders and on the other hand know how - and enjoy - to play in selfgiven structures. Despite of their mighty instruments, the music of Tresbass has a specific lightness. The three musicians don't fear the high registers at all but also sound lower than ever permitted! They have a good sense for the unexpected, for soundnuances, contrasts and refined tension between calmness and surprising changes. Whether it's in a trio-, duo- or solopiece, the musicians enjoy the transparency of their unconventional band. "Istia" gives a prove for that and for the big palette of musical colours and variety!
