Hans Peter Hiby - Paul Hession Duo
Hans Peter Hiby ts/as/ss
Hans Peter Hiby met Paul Hession in his hometown Wuppertal in February 1986.
The two decided to work as a duo and they toured later that same year, playing in
the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland Austria and Germany. This was the first of
many tours for the duo and they recorded a vinyl LP „The Real Case“ in Düsseldorf
in 1988. They work in the field of free jazz and European improvised music. The
complex structures of their improvisations reveal a high degree of sensitivity and
narrative expression, despite all the explosive dynamics. It is important for the duo
not to be constrained by fixed templates in order to be able to give free run to
musical expression and feelings, to work and play with space, environment and all
external and internal influences in order to develop them in a common dialogue.
This is an exciting process both for musicians and listeners.
