Shelley Hirsch, Christian Weber, Alfred Vogel - Vanish (2026)

New York avant-garde vocalist Shelley Hirsch, double bassist Christian Weber, and drummer Alfred Vogel have formed a trio that merges American experimentalism with the European improvisational tradition. The ensemble's work is characterized by a synthesis of vocal performance, spontaneous interaction, and a wide stylistic range, spanning from lyrical passages to noise soundscapes. Each member is a recognized master: Hirsch is noted for her extensive international career and prestigious grants, Weber for his academic contributions and versatility, and Vogel for his active promotion of contemporary improvised music through his own labels and festivals. The project serves as an uncompromising exploration of sonic possibilities, distinguished by both emotional depth and technical precision.
