Patrick Defossez, Anne-Gabriel Debaecker, Daniel Erdmann, Benny Sluchin - QUATRE = ZE = = (7) (2016)

After a complete classical training with subsequent studies in jazz and improvised music, Defossez is, on the one hand, a poly-aesthetic composer who is very much present in contemporary musical life, but on the other hand, an active interpreter in the improvisation scene, committed to inter¬disciplinary improvisation procedures which more or less incorporate the current digital possibilities of music-making.

He is also a teacher of multi-dimensional musical composition at a state regional conservatory: classical New Music, mixed music (with new musical technologies) as well as all forms of improvisation.

The recording features both composers performing their own works, along with Daniel Erdmann (Soprano, tenor and baritone saxophones, percussion) and Benny Sluchin (tenor trombone, duplex-euphonium and percussion)
