Latency Label Night: TLF Trio, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi Jazzit

The Paris-based record label Latency, known for its genre-spanning and experimental music, presents three outstanding artists from its diverse cosmos. Iranian percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi blends traditional Persian drums like the Tombak with modern playing techniques, vocals, and electronic effects. His hypnotic rhythms create a bridge between centuries-old tradition and contemporary sound research – experienceable live in a captivating fusion of precision and improvisation.

The Danish TLF Trio navigates between composed music and spontaneous improvisation. With cello, piano, and guitar, the musicians create a unique sound world that combines influences from minimal music, free jazz, and Renaissance music. Their music feels sculptural: sounds constantly reshape and blur the boundaries between space, atmosphere, and composition.

To close the evening, Latency founder Souleymane Said spins a DJ set that reflects the label’s musical openness. Drawing from experimental electronics, jazz, and contemporary composition, he guides the audience through the diverse currents that define Latency. An evening that explores the intersections of tradition, innovation, and artistic freedom.
