Dieter Ammann leads a double life. In his jazz-funk guise with «Donkey Kong’s Multi Scream», he improvises at dazzling speed on bass, trumpet and keyboards.

As a composer, he writes complex pieces rich in detail. His orchestral work «Core – Turn – Boost» at the 2011 Lucerne Festival was a major international success. Bursting with pulsating energy and sonic creativity, his works deliver a profoundly physical listening experience that is very rare in new music.
