Sylvie Courvoisier

as a co-leader		MILLER'S TALE : Sylvie Courvoisier – Evan Parker – Mark Feldman – Ikue Mori \| Sylvie Courvoisier (piano) \| Mark Feldman (violin) \| Evan Parker (Soprano & Tenor Saxophone) \| Ikue Mori ( Electronics) Miller's Tale is the high point of the collaboration of the distinctive musicians Sylvie Courvoisier, Mark Feldman, Evan Parker and Ikue Mori. Henning Bolte writes in the liner notes: "Our ears usually first adhere to the known, the familiar. But they 'squint' to something thrilling, to beautifully disturbing things, something extra to enjoy as listeners. Its attractiveness is strongly related to the quality of the known/unknown interweaving in the music. The sensible pleasure of the four musicians in Miller's Tale offers numerous arousing moments to personally connect with the music." \| Recordings: Miller’s Tale (Intakt 2016)
