Jeff Arnal / Dietrich Eichmann – Tides of Unrest / Berlin 2023

The duo of American drummer-percussionist-composer Jeff Arnal and German pianist-composer Dietrich Eichmann has forged a dynamic musical partnership spanning more than two decades, beginning with the recording of The Temperature Dropped Again in 2002 (Leo, 2004). They define their constantly renewed and reformulated aesthetics as “a physical installation in space with sculptural and colourful approaches.”

Arnal studies with visionary artist-drummer-percussionist-shaman Milford Graves. He is the executive director of Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville, North Carolina, and keeps expanding the College’s revolutionary legacy of experimentation, collaboration, and interdisciplinary innovation, as introduced by seminal artists like John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Lou Harrison,
