Le Pot

From the faintest glimmer of life to polyrhythmic interweavings and massive soundscapes, the band improvises its way into the apocalypse—or the day after. Signals generated with the last remnants of electricity, drone reverberations, or science-fiction murmurs—Le Pot creates a sound that forges a new space-time: the experience of humanity’s final days or the journey into a realm closer than one might think. Neuronal fire, the connection to the inner self. And above it all, like blue points of light, the trumpet.Since 2026, Le Pot has been performing with a new lineup: in addition to Manuel Mengis on trumpet and electronics, Hans-Peter Pfammatter on keyboard, and Lionel Friedli on drums, Biliana Voutchkova on violin and Silke Strahl on tenor saxophone are also part of the project. The band remains true to the fundamental principles of free improvisation—enriched by two voices that further open up the soundscape. The audience is invited to surrender completely to the uniqueness of the moment and witness the invention and shaping of music in real time.
