Robert Lucaciu Fallen Crooner

Description

The German-Romanian double bassist and composer Robert Lucaciu (1988) deconstructs his own (cis)male self-understanding in his latest project «Fallen Crooner» and invites musicians Laura Totenhagen, Pascal Klewer, Shannon Barnett, Sofía Salvo, and Moritz Baumgärtner to a joyful discourse on gender roles. In a montage of Lucaciu's own compositions, well-known songs, and text sequences by various authors, free improvisation repeatedly forms a central element: questioning the moment with an open outcome. This results in a musical discussion whose strength lies in living the questions in all their intensity and resolving the urgency of quick answers with goodwill. Each musician is encouraged to celebrate their own diversity and explore all nuances offered by their instrument. Individual stories are distilled to their essence by the ensemble and reassembled in intense dialogue. With «UNIT live!», Moods and the renowned Swiss jazz label UNIT Records combine their forces to create a joint format. Regularly, we bring current productions from the UNIT universe to the Moods stage and showcase the diversity of UNIT Jazz.
