Christoph Gisin

Christoph Gisin, living in Basel Switzerland studied Music Classical/Jazz/Education at the Musikhochschule Basel between 2004 and 2008. After focusing on Jazz and classical music and new genres on study trips to Asia (Java/Bali), he focuses on Gamelan and body music. The multi-instrumentalist plays various wind instruments (trumpet, flugelhorn, blues harp, alphorn), percussion instruments (Hang, Dousn’ Goni) and solos in bands and orchestras (Playin’ Tachles, Sléndro, Le Moulin à Poivre, Trumpet & Organ, Concert Bands, Military Music, Alphorn Trio, Bigband). Experiences from his many concert trips in Switzerland (including the Jazz Festival Montreux, JazzNow etc), Germany, France and Russia, influence his own compositions and improvisations (Jazz-Funk-Experimental Band Projects/Choir Music).
