Zlatko Kaučič - drums, percussion
Tomaž Grom - doublebass, electronics, video
In the early seventies, Zlatko Kaučič fled across the border, recorded and
performed in Italy, collaborated with the musical co-operative Swiss in
Switzerland, than he moved to Barcelona
in 1976, started playing in clubs and festivals as a soloist and in
collaboration with various musicians, including Steve Lacy. In
1981-1983, Zlatko taught drums at the Taller de musicos jazz school in
Barcelona. Since 1984, when he moved to Amsterdam, he joined the
extremely powerful scene of improvised music and became a composer in
the field of performing arts and dance. After the independence, he
settled back in Slovenia and stepped wide into an extremely fertile
creative period.
Tomaž Grom understands music as a medium of communication rather than aesthetic
pleasure. He wants to find reasons for making music. Uncompromisingly he
prods at social norms. Music for him is a form of seeking, unanswered
questions, flow of ideas, unpredictable situations. Composition is
improvisation. Improvisations offers him space to lose himself, to make
mistakes, to come up with intriguing solutions.
