DeciBells

The percussion ensemble DeciBells is closely associated with New Music, and regularly works on his projects, both with contemporary composers performing new works as well as with other musical formations. The ensemble’s roots are in Basel. However, concert tours have taken it to Asia and throughout Europe in particular. The Borealis Festival in Bergen, the London Ear Festival, concert tours in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Korea, China, India and Taiwan have led to an exciting, international, musical exchange with programming developed and performed in Basel. In the project Pléïades, which involves several concerts and this recording, DeciBells has interpreted these gems of the percussion literature in its own way through, among other things, the use of the newly developed sixxen, and has opened up a new perspective on the
work.
