For many years, Random/Control was David Helbock's most significant project. Last year, the three musicians from Vorarlberg celebrated their 15th anniversary and performed hundreds of concerts together around the world. After releasing three albums—"Random/Control" (Traumton 2010), "Think of Two" (Traumton 2014), and "Tour d'Horizon" (ACT 2018)—the band is ready for a new program and new adventures.
The new album will be recorded in one of the legendary live sessions at the Liechtenstein-based Little Big Beat Studio and will be released in early 2025.
The album "Think of Two," dedicated to the musical legends Thelonious Monk and Hermeto Pascoal, impressed Hermeto himself so much that he contributed to it and recorded a part especially for Random/Control in Brazil.
The trio's trademark remains the many instruments—just three musicians, but well over 20 instruments. Andreas Broger plays clarinet, bass clarinet, various saxophones, and flutes, and now even sings occasionally. Johannes Bär masters almost all brass instruments—sousaphone, tuba, trombone, trumpet, alphorn, but also didgeridoo, beatbox, and drums—sometimes even all at once.
