Clara Vetter Trio

In the organizer's words:

Together with her colleagues Mario Angelov and Lucas Klein, pianist and composer Clara Vetter explores a sound spectrum that draws connections from jazz to impressionism and new music. One voice from the audience described her music as "Debussy crashes into Stockhausen". Vetter seeks the connections between the things that inspire her and allows the understanding she gains from this to flow fully into her music. This is also the basis of the versatility and profundity that the 2023 Baden-Württemberg Jazz Prize winner is said to possess.

During the pandemic, Vetter, like almost all musicians, was often left to her own devices musically. In this situation, she became increasingly aware of her synaesthetic tendencies: by recording the visual impulses she experienced on the auditory, haptic and visual levels of perception while playing the piano, Vetter was able to reflect on her intuitive thought processes. In the past, constellations were often associated with these impulse drawings, which gave rise to the idea for the "Fabulae" program. In this program, Vetter translates selected constellations into new compositions: In the process, constellations result in points of contact on the keyboard, which are further developed musically by incorporating Vetter's personal interval associations for visual forms and the context of Greek mythology. Initial visual sketches are musically rotated, turned, mirrored and/or deformed until the character of the respective constellation is worked out - a working method not unlike that of an illustrator. It is continued in the performance, where the forms seen are interpreted and improvised. In the trio, this process is strengthened by the highly inspiring influence of Angelov and Klein, which further shapes the music and allows its essence to emerge ever more clearly.
