ABOUT MELT TRIO
Two years ago the Trio, Meyer-Baumgärtner-Meyer from Berlin astounded laymen and experts equally. The brothers Peter and Bernhard Meyer on guitars and bass, and drummer Moritz Baumgärtner invented a sound that boldly yet humbly overrode all established concepts of jazz improvisation, alternative rock, ambient and experience of nature translated to sound, but even surpassed all known syntheses, avantgardisms and overlappings. A sound that unfolded its bouquet light-years away from any crossover. In free flight the three Berliners betook themselves from the known galaxies to a new sound-quadrant, that gets by without any exhibitionism. The abysmally overrated solo in jazz cannot be found here. To Meyer-Baumgärtner-Meyer it was all about degrees of density, states of matter and atmospheres. The group-conducive restraint of the three individual masters is exactly what accounts for the trio’s unique charm. And what was the name of their first album? “Melt.”

UNDER SNOW

Director: Ulrike Ottinger, colour, 108 min., 2010-11

It is deep winter in the Japanese province of Echigo. The snowy landscape might look like the backdrop to a fairytale, but life in the white cold is arduous for the inhabitants of the region. Ulrike Ottinger observes contemporary life there and simultaneously sends off two actors on a journey to explore the region’s past. UNDER SNOW is a realistic documentary about a rural area and also an investigation of its myths.
