BIGONI / BERRE DUO

Francesco Bigoni - saxophones
Håkon Berre - drums

Håkon Berre (b. 1980, Norway) has established himself as one of the most interesting young drummers on the Danish scene for improvised music. Having expanded the drumset with a diversity of trash ranging from ringing bells, tin plates and chains, to pot lids, tea towels, forks and chopsticks, Håkon has made collaborations with artists such as Peter Brötzmann, Kasper Tranberg, Peter Friis-Nielsen, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Liudas Mockunas, John Tchicai and Sture Ericson. His inventive and energetic drumming can be heard on a discography spanning 21 CD's, many of them released on the record label-collective Barefoot Records, where Håkon is one of the co-founders.

Francesco Bigoni (b. 1982, Italy). Mainly self-taught, Francesco has rapidly found his own spot on the Italian creative scene. He has experimented with strategies of collective production since 2005, as a member of El Gallo Rojo (www.elgallorojorecords.com) label/collective. Known from collaborations with the likes of Ralph Alessi, Jim Black, Anthony Coleman, Daniele D'Agaro, Paolo Fresu, Ulrich Gumpert, Curtis Hasselbring, Tristan Honsinger, Briggan Krauss, Gary Lucas, Kresten Osgood, Bobby Previte, Enrico Rava, Chris Speed.
