MILL presents 'RE-GHOSTER EXTENDED'
Jérôme Noetinger - Nicolas Field - Thomas Florin - Fritz Welch - Nate Wooley

Saturday, 8 April 2023 – 9pm
10 euro / free admittance for -18

-------------------------------------

Re-Ghoster grew out of a chance encounter between Anglo-Swiss percussionist Nicolas Field, Italian tape & electronics wizard Valerio Tricoli and Swiss pianist Thomas Florin in Geneva in 2018. They quickly discovered a like-minded longing to experiment and distort sound textures in new ways, to explore compositional concepts by using improvisation and the impulse of the moment. They decided to let their strong personalities clash. Re-Ghoster was born and as a trio, they released a first album – ‘Or Not All’ - in 2019.

Embracing Re-Ghoster as a constant evolutionary process and always on the lookout to extend the potential and creativity of the project, the trio invited American trumpeter Nate Wooley and Anglo-American vocalist Fritz Welch - two major artists of the experimental scene - to join them in 2021 on the occasion of a tour in Switzerland and the UK with venues like Cave12 in Genève and Café OTO in London. This quintet format was baptized Re-Ghoster Extended. In 2023, Re-Ghoster Extended will record a new album and they are invited by Swiss Festival Archipel for a special creation.

To conclude their reunion at Festival Archipel, the quintet – with Jérôme Noetinger replacing Valerio Tricoli for this occasion - will perform exclusively in MILL on Saturday, 8 April 2023. Expect acoustic instruments being fed to tape, magnetized, digested, re-eaten, reworked and regurgitated again by the machine. Expect ghostly bursts and roars emerging from nothingness. Expect chirps and shrills exploding in tension with each other. Expect a quest into the depths of sound by a quintet of extraordinary experimentalists.

Re-Ghoster Extended is: Jérôme Noetinger (FR, Revox & Electronics), Nicolas Field (UK/CH, Drums & Electronics), Thomas Florin (CH, Piano), Nate Wooley (USA, Trumpet), Fritz Welch (USA/UK, Voice)
