Inspired by the sound world of the Indonesian gamelan orchestra, Andreas Tschopp has assembled an ensemble of high-caliber improvisers and sound aesthetics, which he frees from the fetters of the well-tempered mood and sends him on an exploration journey through the sublime beauty of metalic hovering and hypnotic Ostinati. In his mind, Bubaran is a jazz quartet. But already the cast - three brass players, a guitarist, a drummer - makes clear that this is not the sound of the Great American songbook, but rather the play, the inventor and discoverer spirit of jazz. Bubaran is a jazz quintet. But Bubaran is also a pocket chamber orchestra, a telescope in the sound world of Indonesian temple installations, a singer of archaic arias, a folk festival in the village square.
