Girilal Baars & Isabel Rößler

In the organizer's words:

STAGE off LIMITS - soundtrips_nrw

Girilal Baars is a singer, musician and composer living in Uppsala. He is interested in making the incomprehensible comprehensible and vice versa.

Isabel Rößler is a Berlin-based jazz bassist and improviser.

Baars and Rößler first met in 2021 on the stage of the defunct club Au Topsi Pohl in Berlin. It was clear that they had to play together again.

Since then, they have performed in various line-ups in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the Baltic States. The duo's first demo recording was released online in October 2023. In their music they engage in a deep improvisational dialog and walk paths through worlds they both discover as they create them.

Their CD Double Up was recorded in Berlin in January 2023. The sessions took place on two rainy days in the Kühlspot (on some tracks you can hear the raindrops pattering on the metal roof in quiet moments).
