The original and fascinating set-up (viola, vibraphone, doublebass
and piano) and their arrangements influenced by jazz and improvisation
makes Vibratanghissimo into an exciting and original sound experience.
The argentine roots of violist Juan Lucas Aisemberg, the creativity
of Oli Bott on vibraphone, the virtuosity of Arnulf Ballhorn on
doublebass and the sensitive charm of pianist Tuyêt Pham round up
the unique physiognomy of the ensemble.
