"Dimos Vryzas is a violinist, improviser, songwriter and composer from Thessaloniki, Greece.

Since some years his focus in music has moved on Free Improvisation. He studied Improvisation with Fred Frith and Alfred Zimmerlin.

With a unique approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical and folk music to rock, noise and ambient music, he is interested in exploring the limits of the instrument, work with the contrast of acoustic/electric sound and find new ways of expression within music.

Violin is the main source of his sound. Often enough he uses his voice or other instruments to make music.

Creating various soundscapes, working with noises, composing music for Film and Theater are also at the core of his work.

As an improviser he performs in solo as well as in various formations.

Primus 17
(Creative Sources)

A diverse set of conversations between Austrian improvisers, drummer/percussionist Fredi Pröll (Trio Now!, Lull) and free vocalist Mara Kolibri, recording in the studio for seven concise and far-ranging dialogs, from cantankerous interactions to controlled incoherence of absurdly implied vocalization punctuated with creative percussive reaction, often returning to lyrical jazz-influenced moments.

	Bernstein, Sarah Exolinger (577 Records)
Recorded in the studio as an urgent response to the latent unease in the time of pandemic and political dissent, NY poet, violinist, composer and improviser Sarah Bernstein uses washes of distorted violin, ecstatic vocalizations, and poetic spoken word, an expression of immediacy and tension between extremes, a personal and articulate set of observational expressions.

	Gelber Flieder Olbaumgewachse (Creative Sources)
Gelber Lilac, or Yellow Lilac, is the electro-acoustic trio trio of Yves Arques (Tricentric) on objects & electronics, Joao Camoes (Open Field String Trio) on viola, and Luise Volkmann (Autochrom) on saxophone, presenting a romantic still life in improvisational colors and extended techniques, recorded live at La Petite Maison, in Paris in 2016.

	Vazquez, Pablo / Hernan Sama El Nombre Del Ritual (Creative Sources)
Thirteen emphatic "rituals" from the Argentinian duo of saxophonist Hernan Sama, recording in the studio as they employ an array of techniques including extended bowing and plucking approaches, saxophone smears, growls, vocal utterances, odd reed techniques, &c, to engage their listener's ears as they unfold dialog that merges jazz forms and fully free improvisation.

	Schorken, Hanna You Told Me How To Dance (Creative Sources)
Hanna Schorken is a published German writer & poet, jazz vocalist and free improviser, since 2005 living in Koln and developing a personal and idiosyncratic approach to sound poetry and experimental voice recordings, heard here in a 7 part work where each movement completes the titles of the poem "I So Liked Spring"; "You"; "Told"; "Me"; "How"; "To"; "Dance".

	Mitzlaff, Urlich Ten Sonic Miniatures about the "Scream" by Edvard Munch (Creative Sources)

	Vazquez, Pablo Solo 1 (Seres Imaginarios) (Creative Sources)
Buenos Aires double bassist Pablo Vazquez presents nine solo improvisations using an impressive and diverse set of approaches to the instrument, utilizing every inch of the bass to evoke the supernatural beings of Argentine popular culture, in an imaginative approach to sonic narrative that demonstrates powerful control and masterful technique.

	Lerman, Ayelet 7 Steps (Creative Sources)
