Coup Coup

The quartet Coup Coup surprises with a blend of electronic and acoustic textures, through which energetic melodies weave their way. Inspired by post-punk, noise and free improvisation, they create dense soundscapes with constantly shifting focal points of energy.

Almut Schlichting’s baritone saxophone appears at times as a pulsating epicentre, at others as a gentle melody, or within percussive, noise-based textures.

Sofia Borges’s playing creates both subtle nuances and complex structures of the highest density.

Michele Pedrazzi shapes the soundscape through live sampling and experimental sound generation, complemented by analogue synthesiser sounds, whilst Daniel Meyer uses the guitar to create timbres and textures, as well as flowing melodies and harmonies.

Post-punk, sound art and free jazz converge in structure, sound and energy.
