about

German tubist, composer and bandleader Carl-Ludwig Hübsch.

What happens if you give a tuba to a teenage punk-rock drummer? Well, if it was Carl Ludwig Huebsch, it set him off on two paths which he pursued simultaneously, playing the tuba in a traditional community brass band, doing german oompah folk music by day and playing in rock bands with his pals at night. Like with so many other young rock musicians, Frank Zappa proved to be a gateway drug to more serious musical activity. When Carl-Ludwig eventually arrived at the world of free jazz and free improvisation, he found a context in which his two threads could combine and bear many glorious fruits. In his solo tuba playing, he not only plays the instrument expertly in the traditional manner, but explores its material nature to the full, treating it sometimes as a percussion instrument, striking and stroking it with various objects, as well as finding new ways to put air through it: with saxophone mouthpieces or no mouthpiece, hissing, moaning, singing. And as a composer and bandleader, his contrary tastes for order and anarchy have lead him to create situations where musicians can follow instructions and rebel, cooperate and go off on their own. The nature of musical communications has been an explicit concern of his.
