LDL assembles soprano saxophonist Urs Leimgruber, pianist Jacques Demierre and analog synthesist Thomas Lehn in a finely balanced interplay between precision and instability. Rooted in European free improvisation and contemporary music, the trio unfolds a dense, hyper-attentive dialogue where structure and spontaneity are in constant negotiation. Sparse timbres, sudden micro-gestures and stretched melodic lines dissolve expectations, while attentive dynamics and subtle electronic textures create a taut, immersive atmosphere that rewards close listening.
