About this event
Camila Nebbia / saxophone Kit Downes / piano Andrew Lisle / drums The improvising trio Exhaust unites saxophonist Camila Nebbia, pianist Kit Downes, and drummer Andrew Lisle in a dynamic meeting of spontaneous creation. Their music unfolds through real-time exploration, where quick reflexes and deep listening shape each performance. Nebbia’s powerful saxophone voice drives the ensemble with intensity, while Downes reveals a side of his playing that leans into raw immediacy and unrestrained expression. Lisle acts as both a catalyst and anchor, crafting fluid rhythmic structures that support and propel the trio’s intricate interplay. This will be a release show for the trio's new album, All the Beauties and Disasters , out on Intakt Records on 23rd October. The album moves through a vast spectrum of sound, shifting between melodic counterpoint and richly textured soundscapes, embracing contrast and constant transformation.
