Jazz+ at the Seidlvilla presents: 08.12.2026_FEAR O' SHE

Jeremy Viner (clarinet, saxophone)
Felix Hauptmann (piano)
Elisabeth Coudoux (cello)
Roger Kintopf (double bass)
Tancrède D. Kummer (drums, composition)

FEAR O' SHE gathers a constellation of emerging and established improvisers around Tancrède's compositions and concepts.
The music merges contemporary structures, avant-garde rhythms and forms with spontaneous gestures, intuition and initiative.
We aim to take a holistic approach to music where material is brought forth as a laboratory to explore our individualities within the collective.

For us, performed music is to be projected fiercely and with unyielding commitment, hence the notion of 'ritual' in which FEAR O' SHE wish to throw themselves along with their audience; delving further into the devotional intensity of repetitive motions, discovering and exploring and ways of interlacing composing with improvising. Although a substantial amount of time is spent scripting scores and creating parameters of execution and interplay, the collective will always be the prism through which this artistic vision unfolds.

Press:

"The formation Fear O'She is a quintet around the French percussionist Tancréde D. Kummer. Tancréde D. Kummer wrote the music for the quintet. A composer who has gained musical experience in various fields, from a duo with piano and percussion with an arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations to a piano trio in the field of jazz.

He has meticulously composed all the music for the band Fear O'She, but gives his musicians room for interpretation and improvisation. The band members are all experienced improvisers: Elisabeth Coudoux on cello, Jeremy Viner on clarinet and saxophone, Felix Hauptmann on piano, Roger Kintopf on bass and Tancréde D. Kummer on drums.

The group's music was a form of new chamber music, with small melodic arcs on cello, clarinet/saxophone and piano. The music was quite catchy and always captivated with unexpected corners and edges. Despite the notated form, the individual musicians developed their own initiatives and followed their intuition. The result was a very coherent ensemble sound of strange and unusual beauty."
