BeingFive by Dimitriadis, Dörner, Freedman, Parkins, Williams
BeingFive is a newly established quintet, a group of musicians searching for new forms of composition and improvisation. It is made up of Axel Dörner (trumpet, electronics), Andrea Parkins (electronics, accordion), Yorgos Dimitriadis (percussion, mics), Christopher Williams (double bass) and Lori Freedman (clarinets).
A truly Berlin-based ensemble, BeingFive is made up of musicians hailing from everywhere but Berlin. With the vast capabilities of sound production from each of its members the group can sound like it is anywhere from 1 musician to 5, to 50 musicians. The overall vocabulary of BeingFive is stupefying but what they have to “say” with this palette, unmistakably their own, will open the listener’s mind - including body and that thing called spirit - to a wondrous wilderness.
