The musical interests of the members of the "Verkaterte Stiefel" - founded in 2014 by Moritz Götzen, bass player from Essen, Germany - lie outside of stylistic boundaries. The quartet improvises on the premise to abandon oneself to the moment, to trust the own intuition and to give the music the possibility to develop into whatever direction. By pursuing the goal to replace the "Me" by a collectively developing "Us" that what starts as bebop becomes free improvisation, what starts as folk song becomes melancholic soundscape.
