This is Tokyo's most notable improv duo at the moment. The duo consisting of Tatsuya Yoshida, the strongest drummer in the avant-prog scene, and Risa Takeda, the keyboardist who is currently attracting the most attention in Tokyo's improv scene, will be touring Europe for the first time. An unparalleled worldview brought about by thrilling antagonism and harmony unfolding at high speed. The highly structured and highly improvised performance, which freely moves between classical, contemporary music, progressive rock, and jazz rock, overwhelms the audience with the number and sound pressure of a band, even though it is performed by two people.

Helicopter is a high-energy trio that soars at the crossroads of jazz, punk, free improvisation, and raw sonic chaos. Featuring Peter Van Huffel (saxophones), Roland Fidezius (bass), and Simon Camatta (drums), the band fuses Berlin’s underground fire with the dynamic creative scene of western Germany’s NRW region.
Born from a spontaneous meeting at the Rabbit Hole Theater (Essen) in January 2024, Helicopter is an explosive collision of melody, noise, groove, and fearless improvisation. With Peter and Roland—longtime co-conspirators in the thrash-jazz trio Gorilla Mask—pushing their sound into uncharted sonic terrain, and Simon, a driving force in NRW’s avant-garde scene, injecting his distinctive rhythmic intensity, the result is an unpredictable ride—sometimes turbulent, always electrifyingin.
