On the 14th November Surprise am Mittag welcomes jazz pianist Catherine Tang to the Kleinwäscherei. 12:30-13 genre-frei, eintritt-frei
Catherine Tang is a jazz pianist based in Basel, active in the Swiss music scene as the bandleader of ASRA and a sidewoman of Lost in Lona. Her debut solo album “Where Do Your Dreams Fly?” will be released in November 2025 on the UK label Whitelabrecs.
Using piano and synthesizers, she creates an intimate, minimalist soundscape that blends simple melodies with subtle details. The album reflects Catherine's journey through her musical visions and desires, telling a story of a world between reality and dreams. The pieces were developed in close collaboration with artist Aline Kornicker, who contributed video material from everyday scenes. A notable moment on the album is the reinterpretation of Nocturnal Journey, originally
created with ASRA, now reappearing as Nocturnal Returnal - all set in a warm, imperfect environment.
