ALL THE MEMORIES THAT OBJECTS CARRY
Since this 2nd album is basically a sibling of its predecessor, Rotterdam based pianist, composer & producer, ALEXANDER teamed up with bassist Thomas Pol, drummer Jamie Peet, and guitarist Jelle Roozenburg once again. The influence of jazz, with the accompanying improvisation character, is clearly present, but an alternative approach has been chosen in terms of sound and production. Elements of Hip Hop and 60s Pop & Cinematic Folk music can be heard in the rich textures of these songs.
“Music is often characterized as a combination of melody, harmony and rhythm, but before we recognize those ingredients, we simply hear a sound. I hope that when someone puts on the record, he or she experiences something based on not just the songs but the standalone sounds as well,” the Dutchman said. Expect spontaneity, adventure and collective improvisation. The quartet likes to venture into unknown territory, which means that the compositions constantly take on new forms during their concerts.
