Autochthon

Autochthon is a German improvising trio comprising Hartmut Oßwald on bass clarinet, baritone saxophone and objects, Stefan Scheib on prepared double bass, and Wolfgang Schliemann on drums and objects.

The Creative Sources album A documents a live performance at the Free Jazz Festival in Saarbrücken on 7 May 2016.

Their instrumentation brings together low reeds, prepared strings and percussion, allowing the trio to move from dense rhythmic interplay to close attention to material sound and extended technique.
