Of course, Graewe hasn't been resting on his laurels. He has several ongoing projects including the latest manifestation of his long-running exploration of large ensemble music, Sonic Fiction Orchestra. In Concert, Bochum 2022 features three diverse works, tightly arranged and residing more in the Contemporary music milieu despite plenty of neatly plotted improvisation from the likes of clarinettist Gratkowski, guitarist Martin Siewert and harpist Sara Kowal. Few improvisors have managed to collide musical worlds with more rigour and fecundity. (Peter Margasak | The Wire July 2025 (Issue 497)
