FREQUENZE LIBERE

This CD is here to make your summer better. It arrives in the form of a recording by three magnificent percussionists. Their sound is warm, soft, and yet fresh. It pumps and pulses like the heartbeat of the earth’s interior, and then, before you know it, here comes the one I've been waiting for: Hello, happiness!

I’ve wanted for a long time to introduce the music of Mazen Kerbaj. I had originally been thinking more of his solo work. Then I came across this recording, which immediately caught my attention with its title and its charming cover image.

Tizia Zimmermann and Chris Pitsiokos, Eleatic Records, September 2025. I feel as if something in me had been waiting for this CD. It had been sitting innocently enough on the pile of discs I still had to listen to, but even there it already felt a bit cheeky.
