The quartet has been in existence since
1998. Its first edition which released
double exposure on Leo Records in
2000 had John Schröder on guitar and
bass guitar.
Currently, Henning Sieverts plays cello and
upright bass. That second edition recorded
gueuledeloup (released
by the Montreal-based
Red Toucan label in 2002).
Over the years, the quartet has been
touring regularly in Europe and
performed at the 2001 Europa
Jazz Festival du Mans (France),
the 2002 Guimarães Jazz Festival
in Portugal, and the 2002 Jazz Art in
the Rhineland region ("New Music
for the 21st Century").
From the press text for Leo Records
double exposure:
The quartet
Double Exposure creates multi-layered musical images, displaying a seldom-heard sensitivity to sound and dynamics. As each member of the band is a textural player as well as a master of the improvised line, a rare balance is achieved in the compositions which often bring together seemingly divergent stylistic ideas. Improvisation and composition meet on a plane where it is hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. A concert performance of
Double Exposure leaves you mystified by its contrasting moods, melodic bizarreness, austere lyricism, outlandish grooves, but also by its playfulness and humor.
