Ambergris is chosen here as this quartet’s name as a metaphor of the product of the creative process of an artist, who is someone who can draw from a stock of experiences and emotions, collected throughout life, and create beauty out of it. The compositions performed by the band are a result of that process, they are ambergris themselves, a chaotic mass of stories, digested and reshaped into music. The band members have forged their special artistic and human bond through their long lasting experience together in several other bands active in the Dutch music scene.

Line-up:

Nicolo` Ricci – tenor saxophone/compositions
Sun-Mi Hong – drums
Alessandro Fongaro – upright bass
Emanuele Pellegrini – piano/synths
