In this new world
Ensemble Nikel, a New Music-Band ?
Michelle Ziegler
Counting among the most up-andcoming ensembles, Ensemble Nikel evolves and acts with a line-up composed of saxophone, e-guitar, piano and percussion in a productive and tense
space between the chamber quartet and the band. In the past years the young
collective (mostly musicians from Israel and Switzerland) has given impulsion to countless compositions, that adapt to this intermediary space in ever new ways. The result is already now an astounding diversity of degrees of permeation of instrumental flair and sound-mechatronics. It is now the “Season Ensemble” in the Gare du Nord in Basel.
