Soundart



Laar evolved what amounts to a sculptural approach to sound, and a sense of The Big Picture, uncommon among improvisation’s detail fetishists. Steve Lake, Wire

In the performances of his Temporary Soundmuseum the musician Kalle Laar cultivates a very special sound-culture. Christian Wolf, Saalfelden Jazzfestival Program

Inevitable to agree that because of Laar’s ability to surprise, all attempts to categorise or define his playing are sheer waste of time ... it may intrigue listeners again and again. VOX
