hilde
FEAT: Julia Brussels-Marie Daniels-Maria Trautmann-Emily Wittbrodt
German
hilde are something like figureheads for the cross-stylistic diversity of Cologne's busy music scene and consistently refuse to limit themselves to just one musical approach. They surround Marie Daniels' lyrical singing with lush chamber music arrangements that are compatible with pop and free jazz.
English
Avatars of the cross-stylistic diversity of Cologne's bustling creative music scene, Hilde refuses to be limited by any single musical approach, surrounding the lyric singing of Marie Daniels with lush chamber arrangements that can sound like pop one moment, and free jazz the next.
German
Cologne's bustling music scene offers a climate in which adventurous musicians from different traditions can cross the boundaries between genres - whether out of individual curiosity or collective determination. Few ensembles reflect this diversity as clearly as Hilde. The versatile quartet combines the sophisticated arrangements of chamber music with the elegant melodies of art song and the improvisational excursions of free jazz. On the most recent album "Tide", Marie Daniels' expressive, precise singing forms the center of gravity of the constantly changing arrangements by cellist Emily Wittbrodt, violinist Julia Brussels and trombonist Maria Trautmann - they bring it into focus again and again, amplify it or at least bury it under the music not assigned to a specific genre. However, his casual flexibility as well as his devotion to the history and fundamentals of each of the styles he takes up make the quartet absolutely unique. During a single performance, Hilde gives the impression that several bands are on stage at the same time. However, the group's impressive musical range only springs secondarily from a certain ability to adapt; rather, it can be traced back to a single aesthetic source: the members of the quartet are committed to the goal of making sophisticated, stringent music - no matter in what form.
English
Cologne's creative music scene provides a hothouse atmosphere where adventurous players from different traditions often cross genre-lines - both out of curiosity and community. Few working ensembles reflect that diversity more vividly than Hilde, a wildly versatile quartet that collides the sophisticated arrangements of chamber music with the elegant melodies of art song and improvisational exploration of free jazz. As heard on the group’s most recent album “Tide” most of the material is built around the sweet-toned but precise singing of Marie Daniels, held aloft, complemented or bruised by shape-shifting arrangements sculpted by cellist Emily Wittbrodt, violinist Julia Brussels and trombonist Maria Trautmann.
As with an increasing number of musicians devoted to improvisation, Hilde’s gorgeous music doesn’t fit neatly within any given genre, and it is that casual agility and a devotion to honoring the history and fundamentals of each sound the quartet adopts that makes its output so arresting. Hilde can literally sound like several different groups during one of its meticulously crafted performances, but rather than feeling chameleonic that range all radiates from a single aesthetic root. The members of the quartet are devoted to making heady, rigorous music whatever its form.
