PARKOUR

PARKOUR is actually a sporty, artistic discipline where athletes, regardless of structural conditions and obstacles, are able to cross a city on a direct route. The bassist and bandleader Sebastian Gramss follows the same principle. He moves across the map through sound routes on which he samples ambient sounds and prepares them as playing material for jazz quintet and music robots. An acoustic site visit and contact Inspiration 4 generations, which dissolves from postcard views and road traffic regulations and even opens up new, hidden perspectives on the native city of Cologne.
