Biography

PETER HASLER’S KITCHEN

A solo drum performance - always new and not without humor. With acoustic and electronic drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments, Peter Hasler creates unheard-of music. Pulsating rhythms stomp and gasp - disappearing suddenly into thin air … creating a room full of arising moods that stimulate your fantasy!
