The DDK trio, founded in 2014 by Jacques Demierre at the Festival Météo in Mulhouse, brings together Jacques Demierre (piano), Axel Dörner (trumpet) and Jonas Kocher (accordion).
For more than 10 years, the DDK Trio has been developing a unique artistic proposition that is among the most innovative in the landscape of contemporary creative music. The trio deploys an expressive palette ranging from silence to massive acoustic eruptions, while paying particular attention to the great precision of the articulation of the musical discourse. Its music, resolutely anchored in the moment, is fully in keeping with the tradition of ‘instant composition’.
The trio has given numerous concerts throughout Europe, Japan, Russia and Canada. In 2019 and 2020, it collaborated with the Contrechamps ensemble in Geneva and at the Venice Music Biennale, and then in 2023 with the GGRIL ensemble in Rimouski, Quebec. His latest album, A Right to Silence, released in 2023 on the Japanese label Meenna, was hailed as one of the favourite albums of the year 2023 by the Swiss national radio station RTS.
