Hans Koch

**Hans Koch** is a Swiss experimental musician and multi-instrumentalist known for his boundary-pushing work in avant-garde jazz, improvisation, and contemporary composition.

His recent releases—like the dynamic *London Duos and Trios* and the rhythmically adventurous *Accélération*—showcase his knack for blending raw spontaneity with intricate structures. Titles such as *Asymétries* and *Uluru* reflect his fascination with texture and space, while *You Are Here* and *MIR... ... so viel wie nie* highlight his collaborative spirit and genre-defying curiosity. Whether in intimate duos or sprawling ensemble pieces, Koch’s work remains a thrilling dive into sound’s outer edges.
