Instead, they move deftly over the shifting rhythms under their feet, darkening, brightening, fluttering apart, then rushing back together, tight as a valve seal. Both on stage and on record the group is fierce and exacting, but never prone to flights of ego. The result is a unified, live- wire sound: Stefansson and Wankel lay a heavy foundation, and Gerhardus' piano voicings crack open the melodic possibilities for Nissen's alto like light through a prism. The band fills them out, finds their edges. Nissen compresses grooves into textures and motifs, conceals songs within songs, and weights his melodies not on a tonic, but a cluster of tonalities. The group's debut album, Precious, is a collection of pieces that draw formal influence from Modern Jazz, the contemporary German avant-garde, and early New Music, and in more subconscious ways, from genres like rap and R&B. The quartet, composed of fellow emerging Berlin artists and long-time collaborators Thorbjörn Stefansson (bass), Marius Wankel (drums), and Valentin Gerhardus (piano), tackles Nissen's original, highly-structured improvised music with a telepathic charge. Nissen Mosh is the latest project from Danish-born, Berlin-based saxophonist Asger Nissen.
