Anamorphosis

Bird's Eye View

Digital / CD · XJM23004

The name Anamorphosis refers to the art of distorted representation, to images that only become legible from a particular angle. The sextet around composer Johannes Moritz carries exactly this principle into its music: on the debut album "Bird's Eye View" (2023, XJAZZ! Music), his compositions continually shift harmonic and rhythmic planes, so that familiar lines suddenly open new perspectives. The lineup binds colourful woodwinds, trombone, strings and rhythm section into a chamber-minded jazz: Antonia Hausmann (trombone), Franziska Ludwig (cello), Sebastian Wehle (tenor saxophone, clarinet), Johannes Moritz (clarinet, bass clarinet), Volker Heuken (vibraphone, marimba), Robert Lucaciu (double bass) and Philipp Scholz (drums, glockenspiel). Improvising in open form and with the deepest playful trust, the six musicians move through composed material whose twists never fully settle, making for an advanced yet transparent jazz poised between composition and spontaneity.

Anamorphosis

A six-piece ensemble led by Johannes Moritz that veils and shifts harmonic and rhythmic planes through open-form, deeply trusting collective improvisation.

Anamorphosis is the six-piece ensemble that bandleader Johannes Moritz formed in the summer of 2021, expanding his long-standing quartet of ten years with Antonia Hausmann on trombone and Volker Heuken on vibraphone and marimba. The name refers to the art of distorted representation and perception through a mirror or a shift in perspective. Inspired by installation artists such as Shigeo Fukuda and Jean Max Albert, Moritz composes music that shifts and veils harmonic and rhythmic lines and planes, with melody as a recurring element that is constantly alienated in its form. All six musicians improvise in open-form passages with deep, playful trust in one another. The colourful woodwinds of Sebastian Wehle and Johannes Moritz meet Hausmann's distinctive trombone, while Heuken, Robert Lucaciu and Philipp Scholz form an extraordinary rhythm section that carries the compositions with dedication, precision and intensity.
