about

During his residency at the Musikerwhonhaus in Basel (Fall 2022), Dimos Vryzas recorded a series of improvised duets. One Two Free is a compilation of 11 short improvised duet pieces. The album features immersive improvisers active in the European scene of free improvisation.

Dimos Vryzas invited and played/recorded with the following improvisers: Eva-Maria Karbacher, Tizia Zimmermann, Paula Sanchez, Marina Tantanozi, Anna-Kaisa Meklin, Tasos Tataroglou, Christian Moser, Yanik Soland, Pio Schürmann, Diego Aguirre, Stefanie Ernie.

Dimos Vryzas is a violinist, improviser, sound artist and composer from Thessaloniki, Greece. For several years now his focus in music has moved toward free improvisation. With a unique approach that springs from a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical and folk music to rock, noise and ambient music, he is interested in exploring the limits of his instrument, working with the contrasts of acoustic / electric sound and exploring new ways of expression within music. While the violin is the main source of his sound, he often uses his voice as well as other instruments.

Dimos Vryzas has collaborated with many composers, visual artists, directors and dancers in various interdisciplinary projects all over Europe. He has curated the improvised concert series KlangBang in Basel (2017 – 2019) and co-founded the organization AdHoc Arts in Athens (2021). He is the artistic curator of Stress.Studio in Athens and No Ordinary Festival in Thessaloniki. He studied Improvisation, violin and Political Sciences.

Review by Ilia Belorukov in Musicworm (translated from Russian):
"The album is very well constructed, and sometimes you don't even notice the transition from one duet to another; the narrative simply follows its own course, forming the album itself. And this despite the fact that each duet plays in its own way, and the instrumentation is very extensive, from acoustic instruments to electronic ones and everything in between. The music itself is very different, although all this is within the framework of the improvisation scene of our days. This is a great merit of Dimos, not only as the compiler of the album, but also as a musician. He uses the violin (with pedals) mostly pizzicato, thus leaving a lot of space for the partner, and for each of them adjusting their playing style. The partners, in turn, do not have time to pull the blanket over themselves, because of the format of short pieces. The music remains Dimos's music, but it is also the music of each individual duet. Great job!"
