Hoo-ha by woo
Extraordinary, free, and expressive, the trio woo (Wodrascka Owczarek Orins) is the result of the moment and fortunate encounters. Paulina Owczarek and Peter Orins have been playing together for a few years, meeting in Berlin in Satoko Fujii's orchestra, then venturing into a duo, producing music of subtle gestures, barely perceptible movements, but also of raw and liberated energy. Christine Wodrascka meets Peter Orins within the Franco-American ensemble Sangliers, with Dave Rempis, Keefe Jackson, and Didier Lasserre. Here, there is a taste for adventure and instability, for direct actions and interactions.
The trio meets for the first time in Toulouse in 2022, and the musicians immediately connect. A tour in December 2023 truly establishes the trio. On this record, we find the concert they played at the Confort Moderne in Poitiers on December 14th (Why not? and Spacer w angielskim ogrodzie) as well as a piece recorded in a studio in the Lille metropolis a few days earlier (Hoo-ha).
With sensitivity and power, one foot in free jazz, the other in experimentation, they share an affection for risk and sonic dialogue without barriers or limits.
