‘I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees’

‘I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees’ is a musical composition by Stephanos Chytiris (drums) and Pascal Niggenkemper (double bass) for an ensemble of 8 strings. Between composition and free improvisation, the two musicians explore the resonances and vibrations of the instruments in space. Pascal Niggenkemper has been described by New York City Jazz Records as one of the most innovative bassists on the improvisational scene today. He has collaborated with Stephanos Chytiris on the project “Egata”, a vinyl album released in 2017.
