White Noise Trio

Inspired by acts such as EST, The Bad Plus and Avishai Cohen, the trio combines open improvisation with complex arrangements in a unique way and takes the audience on an emotionally profound sound journey.


At times delicate, introspective, and melancholic, and at others, driving and energetic, their live performances create something truly special.


The three Berlin musicians came together even though – or perhaps because – they come from completely different musical worlds. Florian Dupuy (double bass) brings his classical training to the bandstand, Robin Hartkopf (drums) draws on his experience in progressive rock, while Stefan Merz (piano) experiments with influences from electronic music. This unique blend characterizes the trio’s unmistakable sound.

After almost a decade of intensive collaboration, the musicians have developed a close, intuitive connection and found a common musical language in jazz. Their concerts are not only an experience for jazz lovers, but also appeal to a wider audience who appreciate the emotional depth and creative dynamics of their music.
