„One. Singularity. Big bang. Incarnation. The first breath. One possibility. An infinite universe from one possibility. Unity.“
That’s how the Zurich based composer & improviser Tobias Meier describes the first part of his piece „Molecules“, which he composed exclusively for the Gamut Kollektiv.
It can be called a modular composition, consisting of twelve parts and giving the seven musicians the freedom to always chose what and when to play (or not to play).
These twelve elements coexist in this molecular universe, contrasting each other, blending together, at times in a concrete and distinctive way, at times sounding like a distant memory or an abstract thought.
The piece brings a strong collectiveness to light, at the same time allowing every musician to actively shape the piece - making it sound different and unique every time.
To finish in Tobias Meier’s words: „Molecules evolves as a possible universe that expands after the big bang, decelerates and almost comes to a standstill at the point of maximum expansion, then contracts again, accelerates and eventually ends in a singularity once more.„

Forewords
"The Gamut Collective stands for research, the unfinished, pieces in motion, progress; it is a breeding ground for ideas, experiments and processes.
Like musician’s initiatives from Berlin, Cologne, Vienna, Graz and Berne, the Gamut Collective wants to open up suitable spaces in Zurich and acts as a zone for communication between different musicians and artists coming from diverse stylistic and geographical origins.
The collective consists of seven young musicians from Zurich, who express themselves freely in their own music and, through their (mutual) exchange, create an agile collaboration and dynamic: a musicians’ pool, which is held together and supported by a shared artistic vision.
In addition to the annual Gamut Festival, the Gamut Collective also runs a concert series which creates an individual platform involving improvising musicians with every concert.
Each concert takes place at a different and unique place; hence, the collaboration with various scenes is being supported and conceptually integrated in new ways.
Furthermore in the fall of 2018 their Edition Gamut will be launched with two publications."
