Trio Tougarashi: Felix Komoll, Izumi Ose & Akira Ando (Weltmusik, Jazz) (Spätsünder-Meisterkonzert)
Weltmusik, Jazz, Impressionismus
Ein einzigartiges Trio, das Jazz mit impressionistischen Klängen zu Weltmusik kombiniert.
Voller Spielfreude, Seele und Spannung. Der Berliner Gitarrist, Flötist und Komponist Felix Komoll, die aus Japan stammende Pianistin und Aktionskünstlerin Izumi Ose und der japanische Kontrabassist Akira Ando kennen sich aus der Zusammenarbeit mit der Band The Japps in Berlin.
Die vielseitige kreative Bandbreite der drei unterschiedlichen Ausnahmemusiker verbindet verschiedene musikalische Einflüsse mit subtilen Kompositionen aus eigener Feder.
Felix Komoll - Gitarre, Querflöte
Felix Komoll - Gitarre/Querflöte
Felix Komoll ist eine feste Größe in der Berliner Gitarrenszene. Er war Stipendiat an der Universität von Jerusalem Rubin Academy for Music and Dance. Sein Stil ist von brasilianischen sowie klassischen Einflüssen und der Zusammenarbeit mit Musikern rund um den Globus geprägt. Seine Kompositionen werden u.a. vom Babylon Orchester aufgeführt. Seine persönliche Spielcharakteristik ist geprägt durch eine Kombination von klassischer Gitarre und einem avancierten Jazzsound sowie dem Freiheitsdrang der Improvisation. Musikalische Komplexität und Virtuosität bleiben bei Felix Komoll stets subtil eine besondere Frische und Leichtigkeit durchströmt sein künstlerisches Schaffen.

Moved to Berlin in 2003 and joined many improvisational sessions as vocalist and melodica player with her unique voice technique. Toured to Poland, Romania, Austria, Netherland, France. Also joined in dance performances and opera as performer. While her style is focused on free improvisation, it has been influenced also by free jazz and Japanese folklore.
