Ember

Ember is an improvisation quartet with Urs Leimgruber on saxophones, Alexander Schubert on electronics and violin, Oliver Schwerdt on piano, organ and percussion, and Christian Lillinger on drums.

Its Creative Sources album Aurona Arona was recorded during the Ahornfelder Festival in Leipzig in April 2008. It followed the quartet's earlier album Oullh d'baham and brought together concert improvisation and subsequent editing.

The result combines the acoustic momentum of free jazz with electronics and carefully separated musical episodes.
