About
„CloudCuckooLand“ also documents in an impressive way that the creation of a new world is connected with confrontation and friction. It is only when two apparently different characters, who challenge each other to the utmost, are brought together that those energies are released which ultimately lead to utopian salvation. Paul Lovens and Hans Koch turn out to be a congenial team precisely because of their differences. Rudolf Amstutz

These four improvised pieces find Koch swapping between clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano and tenor saxophone. His sound, a kind of edgy and set-to- detonate mix of upper register runs and tightrope walking explorations fits hand-in-glove with Lovens' soundings. Notice with Paul Lovens we refer to sound instead of pulse. His preference for a singing drum kit with cymbals, gongs and, here, a musical saw elevates him from Koch's accompanist to confederate.
