JOHNS LUNDS & TOBIAS KIRSTEIN

Johns Lunds (aka Johannes Lund) is one of the most promising outsiders in European Jazz – saxophonist, primarily, but a complete sound-artist (as the presence of all kinds of brass instruments, violins and percussion, in his solo work, can attest), he has been, for the past years, one of the Danish experimental scene greatest dynamos. With several widespread solo records, most of them on the Yoyooyoy collective (of which he is a founding member) imprint, he also has released two fantastic collaborative 7” with Swedish giant Mats Gustafsson. In 2011, an also collaborative record with percussionist Tobias Kirstein, another of the frontrunners in the Danish scene, has set the tone for a joint timbral exploration work that has been mixing free-jazz’s explosive characteristics with a rhythmic circularity and a movement towards ascending trance states, which OUT.FEST has the huge pleasure of presenting, for the first time in Portugal.
