Dry Sensation / Christoph Irniger - Marc Perrenoud / New Lines

Описание: DRY SENSATION / CHRISTOPH IRNIGER / Alternate Take

Christoph Irniger, tenor saxophone
Marc Perrenoud, piano

The collaboration between Christoph Irniger and Marc Perrenoud is a unique combination of creative energy and musical skill. Both have their roots in jazz and are technically accomplished instrumentalists with a sparkling temperament. As a duo, they unite the creative energies of two musicians and composers who are renowned on the international jazz scene in a unique way.
With their joint program “New Lines”, Perrenoud and Irniger present their first recording for Unit Records in spring 2026. The music is a fascinating mix of original compositions and innovative reinterpretations of classic jazz standards, with the musicians giving their compositions the freedom to emancipate themselves from their models. Changes and melodies dance around each other, challenging, motivating, and inspiring each other, and developing a symbiotic life of their own, just as Irniger and Perrenoud's intuitions intertwine naturally.
The two musicians have known and appreciated each other for a long time and decided to perform as a duo for the first time in 2022. “This is the first time for both of us to go public in a more traditional context,” Irniger sums up, "and now we just felt like doing it.” And it is precisely this desire that is perceptible in every song, every line, every note, and every interaction.

Recorded 14 September 2025 at Studio Ernest Ansermet, Geneva, Switzerland
