Klaus Bru – C-saxophones, electronics

German-born saxophonist Klaus Bru plays the rare C-melody sax and the even rarer C-soprano sax exclusively. He has traveled widely, for real and in music. His artistic output is characterised by its variety, and musical concepts that are not exactly the “out-of-the-box” type. Instead, Klaus Bru prefers to use combinations of “boxes” that differ in size, contrast in contents, and clash in colour: He brings in folk music from Eastern Europe, Turkey, and China, avant-garde ridden improv, cold blooded electronic noises and feedbacks, sounds of breath and saliva, pitches smaller than the distance between two keys on the piano, strange meters and odd tempos, plus – when the time is right – singable melodies that move the heart and soul.

Klaus Bru was born near Lake Constance in Southern Germany. He got drilled as a jazz saxophonist at the Music University in Graz, Austria, graduating with distinction. His teachers included Adelhard Roidinger, David Liebman, Kenny Wheeler. During the first half of the 1990s Klaus Bru lived in Vienna where he worked with the protagonists of the Austrian Jazz scene of the day, ran the successful avant-garde duo “2 Face 2” with keyboardist Martin Stepanik, and played with international artists such as Marc Ribot, Sunny Murray, Anthony Coleman, Jojo Mayer, and David Friesen.

In 1996 Klaus Bru relocated to Berlin, focusing on sound art and electronic music. He produced the acclaimed interactive sound/media/live music installation “Tiefenrausch”, worked with sound artists and film makers, and published a CD of electronica, “Bru: Collective Items”. With Oliver Doerell of Dictaphone/Swod he composed the music for the dance piece “The Lefthanded Man”, which was invited to a dance festival at Taipei’s Novel Hall in 2001.

In 2002, Klaus Bru moved to Taiwan, and started to work as a culture manager for the Goethe Institute Taiwan, and later as the international promoter for the Chinese music ensemble Chai Found Music Workshop. He became infused with the sound of traditional Chinese instruments, and developed a thorough interest in indigenous music from around the world. In 2010, while in San Francisco, he discovered an antique C-Melody Sax in a pawn shop. Since then, Klaus Bru performs exclusicely on C-saxophones, which he often electrifies.

While in Taiwan, Klaus Bru composed film and theater scores, and played with the major exponents of the local jazz and improvisation scene. In 2010, he set up the Folk Rock Jazz trio “I Have A New Band Now” which has toured in China, Taiwan, Austria, and Italy. Together with pianist Shih-Yang Lee he leads the world music improvisation group Ka Dao Yin (엥돕稜), which recorded two award-winning CDs: “Four Characters” won the Taiwan Golden Indie Music Award in 2012, and “Slow” the Taiwan Golden Melody Award (Taiwan Grammy) 2014.

In 2013/14 Klaus Bru stayed in Beijing, China, where he performed with “Orlop”, the noise duo of Americans Stephen Roach, and Adam MacGregor, and with musicians associated with the experimental Beijing Experimental and Underground scene, like Jianhong Li, Aming Liang, and Daiguo Li, Yan Jun, and others.

Since 2014, Klaus Bru lives in London. So far, he has performed with musicians like Cleveland Watkiss, Orphy Robinson, Terry Day, Beibei Wang, Pat Thomas, Kate Shortt, and groups as diverse as White Flower, Formation, or the London Improvisers Orchestra. He also leads his own projects, mostly in the domain of Free Improvisation.
