FreeTree

FreeTree

FreeTree is a Brussels based music collective that searches to plant trees in the cracks of the concrete jungle of Belgian ribbon development and other depressing places. FreeTree blends their original compositions with BPA-free improvisation and ecological sponges. This bassless trio creates surprising biodegradable textures with their uncommon instrumentation, consisting of piano, drums/percussion and baritone, sopranino and alto saxophone. FreeTree likes to put contrast in their music that always moves somewhere without leaving a large carbon footprint. They explore the whole musical spectrum from very intimistic passages, to wild grooves, from melancholic melodies to ecosystems of rhythmic patterns. Stylewise one can recognise influences of John Zorn, Paul Motian, Charles Mingus, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Keith Jarrett, Sergei Prokofiev, Kaja Draksler.
