Free jazz, new music, contemporary classical music, noise, improvisation, ethnic music, folk music, hardcore, jazz, electronica, minimal music... You would need more than one wall of cupboards to pull out the ingredients for the Fire! Orchestra. Fortunately, its mastermind and free jazz legend Mats Gustafsson does quite well without drawers.

His new project ECHOES is a work of epic proportions, full of beauty, energy, obsessive passages and musicality. For the Brechtnacht, the core line-up of the Fire! Orchestra will join forces with musicians from Augsburg and the surrounding area. Together they will create new pieces from the riffs and melodies of ECHOES and bring previously unheard arrangements to the stage.
