Gerri Jäger

The Austrian-born percussionist Gerri Jäger has been around for a while. After graduating from the Amsterdam Conservatory he became part of many diverse groups, ranging from free-improvisation, alt-rock, experimental electronic club music and avant-pop. Current working bandsinclude Knalpot, Knalpot Dub, Naked Wolf and Rooie Waas. His solo-performance is based around semi-structured improvisations, using drums, percussion, electronics, casio keyboard and synthesizers. Gerri uses his drum-set to trigger analogue synthesizers and manipulates it by wiring it onto a bunch of effect pedals originally made for guitar players. Knalpot’s sound man Sandor Caron sound-designs Gerri’s new solo-set.
