PWS was founded as a special project by Dutch jazz flutist Jeroen Pek in 2006. Inviting Stomvogel and Onno Witte (henche the name PitchWhite Storm), both versatile and highly inspired and energetic idiots savant, inspired by progressive jazz and rock from the seventies, including exorbitant concepts next to odd meter drumming and analog synthesizers. Pek organized a kick off in Bourgundy Style.

Between 2006 and 2009, this energetic triumvirate PWS did performances and recordings at the highest level of creativity. In search of a bassplayer, the likes of Wiro Mahieu, Johnny Tevreden, Thomas W. Andersen and David de Marez Oyens joined in, the latter becoming the main player on the albums and on stage.

After the first album was released and concerts in the Netherlands were done, the group left for France and Spain. After this, a new path was chosen: Free electro-acoustic madness, reflected by soundsculpturist Mark Thur, inspired by quantum physics. This new PWS (Exhange) also performed as part of Jeroen pek’s carte blache, with collaboration of modern jazz musicians Oene van Geel (violin) and Krystina Fuchs (vocals, han), next to Mark Thur (soundascapes) and Bert Lochs (trumpet). A special kind of progjazz, in which acoustic instruments as well as electronical find their way; it’s also about improvisation next to rigid arrangements; and LOL versus “are you serious”?
