Description
Release date: 13.02.2026
Somewhere between jazz, progressive rock and cinematic soundscapes, Kabasse unfolds a world of
intricate arrangements, bold sonic textures and heartfelt improvisation. The brainchild of Munich-
based musician Sigmund Perner (also member of Carpet), this sextet blends composed structure
with free exploration, layering lush harmonies, unexpected rhythms and a rich palette of wind,
mallet and keyboard instruments.
What began as decades of musical ideas—gathered quietly, never written down—found its shape
through a group of close-knit musicians from Munich and Augsburg, including Perner’s own son on
drums. Together, they recorded in a live studio session, embracing risk and spontaneity. The result:
a deeply personal debut album that feels both mature and raw, contemplative and gripping. Rather
than demanding attention, the pieces invite it: About Sitting on Fences captures the art of waiting—
for ideas to grow, evolve and resonate. Just like the name Kabasse, inspired by the calabash: a
vessel, a resonator, a home for sound
Vinyl is limited to 300 copies, first 100 on colored vinyl.
