Nothing Causes Anything
Austria, Germany
Yvonne Moriel – saxophone
Alex Kranabetter – trumpet, electronics
Vincent Pongracz – bass clarinet, electronics
Christian Lillinger – drums
Metaphysics or anti-calendar epigram? "Nothing Causes Everything" is the name of an updated version of this quartet featuring these two Austrian Jazz Prize winners: Yvonne Moriel on saxophone, who last year also demonstrated fascinating versatility with her flash mobs at the festival, and Vincent Pongrácz on bass clarinet and electronics. They first met in 2024 with sound architect Alex Kranabetter and his noise-processed trumpet for a compositionally improvised set at their "Synesthetic Wednesday" concert series in Vienna. The result was described at the time as "experimental noise jazz." The new addition to the group fits perfectly: drummer Christian Lillinger, "the man who takes drumming to a higher level" (Die Zeit). What these four create out of nothing not only becomes something, but so much better than that.
