Ullmann, one of the most active and inquisitive saxophonists in the German jazz scene and the pianist Hans Lüdemann had both experimented independently with microtonality. The music of mikroPULS lives in the space between the extremes of discovering new worlds and returning to the roots of African-American music. The group's experimentation with microtonality is both an intellectual challenge and a bridge to the music of the African-American experience from which jazz grew and to which all four musicians of mikroPULS feel connected: the blues. Gebhard Ullmann, Hans Lüdemann, Eric Schaefer und Oliver Potratz - they are PULS an acronym for the family names of the band members. mikroPULS lets us participate in an excursion by these four musicians into unknown territory. Ullmann, Lüdemann, Potratz, and Schaefer enable us to experience new sounds and types of listening without losing our way. Their music opens our ears and confronts us with our own preconceptions. The goal of these musicians is to feel so at home with their expanded musical vocabulary that the resulting music sounds completely organic and self-evident.
