Fare is a trio from Berlin.
With their debut album Ant Mills (Enja Records), the group presents a selection of free improvisations in which you can follow the musicians on the path of what is emerging in the moment; where form and direction are constantly changing and developing, yet there is a larger arc to them. Released as a double album(Ant Mills I + II), both collections function as two different approaches to creating a larger arc of tension through a flowing narrative from piece to piece, filled with a variety of small stories.

Pianist Valentin Gerhardus, bassist Felix Henkelhausen and drummer Marius Wankel are long-time musical companions who have developed their own language of musical gestures and textures over the years. Together they try to free themselves from the roles of their instruments and form a common body of sound in which the boundaries between the musicians are blurred and an equal interplay free of conventions is created.
Based on the phenomenon of Ant Mills, in which ants run to exhaustion in a vortex, a narrative emerges from this gloomy natural phenomenon reminiscent of modern humanity, which thematizes decay and what arises from it and paints a harmonious, circulating picture of becoming and passing away. Accompanied by a text by Sophia Koh, Fare's music lends this image a peaceful, thoughtful and at the same time liberating and light dimension. Music in which one can lose oneself and which at the same time opens up a path - always in the sense of circular movement as a symbol of natural progress.
