Ground-shaking grooves, hammering rhythms and wailing melodies, layered with explosive no-holds-barred improvisations: GORILLA MASK is a type of sonic madness roaring with a restless, implacable energy that totters dangerously on the verge of total chaos. They craft spirals of sound in 4 or 5 dimensions, jabbing you in the ribs as they mess with your brain – the ebb and flow of an actuely aware trio of musicians who know what they want and know how to get it. Canadian ex-pat Peter Van Huffel is a saxophonist out of Coltrane, Ayler and Zorn, but he frames his improvisational forays in the context of a trio with hard rock dynamics, riding the churn of Roland Fidezius' frenetic bass and Rudi Fischerlehner's pulsating drum kit like a surfer on the biggest wave he's ever seen.
GORILLA MASK is the product of a constantly active, hyper-intelligent hive-mind of three virtuosos; their music a mishmash of punk, rock and metal influences rooted in jazz, free-improvisation and the modern avant-garde. A collision of styles which form the key to the band's identity. This is bold, audacious 21st Century music writ huge, with innumerable influences and tendencies, gritty and urban, intellectual and ready to run a marathon.
Sofía Salvo is a baritone sax player and improviser from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently active and living in Berlin, Germany. Her performances combine acoustic noisy sounds and dark introspective melodies. Her way to approach her instrument guarantees the listener a vibrant experience.
Eliad Wagner is a composer, performer, sound artist and lecturer, a classically trained musician, holding academic degrees in physics and music composition, with strong interests in technology, autonomous processes, intention/attention in audio culture and the vocabulary of electronic music. Based in Berlin since 2012, he is an active member of the city's experimental music scene as a composer-performer of electronic/electro-acoustic music, active in a wide range of scenes - from Jazz to noise to acousmatic music and sound art.
