Pascal Jarchow’s p{e}_x [large ensemble] at the unidad.salgan festival

At the evening concert, the bassist and composer Pascal Jarchow will  present his new project p{e}_x [large ensemble].

The ensemble, composed of people from various musical fields, which develops the pieces of composer, double bassist and director Pascal Jarchow, functions as a direct further development of past line-ups of this format. The starting point is the assumption that constancy is not synonymous with rigidity, that change does not exclude rigidity, and that constancy can be based on change, that at the same time it embraces not potential abstractions but actual fundamental phenomena.

Tobias Bech Lauesen – trumpet
Liam Ellion – trombone

Pascal Jarchow (Lübeck, 2001) is a composer and double bass player from Berlin and is currently preparing to graduate from the Berlin University of the Arts. His activities were founded in various ensembles from traditional big band instrumentation to large non-specific ensembles and his quartet to solo work on the double bass.
