Helge Sunde & Clémence Manachère Unterwasser - Serpents et Échelles (2024)

The main idea of the Hamburg band Unterwasser (“under water”) - completed to a septet by Norwegian trombonist Helge Sunde - is the exploration of new textures and forms of improvisation, the search for hybrid sounds between jazz and contemporary music and the exploration of rhythmic and harmonic possibilities, often with odd meters and microtonal harmonies.
