Oneiric Jazz

Marco Santilli (Klarinette, Bassklarinette, Kompositionen)
Karolina Öhman (Cello)

“I’ve composed a program for clarinet and cello – a richly colorful pairing that brings together two very different instrument families. In Karolina, I found the perfect musical partner, someone who effortlessly moves between composed music and improvisation. The term ‘Oneiric Jazz’ captures the creative process: composing in a dream-like state, almost like daydreaming with your eyes wide open.” – Marco Santilli

This duo offers an extraordinary palette of sounds – at times intimate, at times orchestral, always full of surprises. Drawing inspiration from jazz, classical, world, and minimal music, the two musicians blend improvisation and written score into a seamless whole.

A fresh and unheard voice in European jazz – music that’s open, free, and full of imagination.
