Music
The musicians present their new album “It’s still Autumn“, which is composed of two parts, Dawn and Dusk. Both parts, consisting of several compositions interwoven through improvisations, are a musical journey through an imaginary autumn landscape.
The instruments
The kamancheh is the Iranian bowed instrument known for its mournful, melodious sound. the fortepiano, the forerunner of the modern grand piano, comes from Mozart’s time and is reminiscent of the santur, the Persian cimbalom. The violone comes from the early Renaissance and is the forerunner of the double bass and can fulfil a melodic, harmonic as well as a bass function with its six strings and lighter timbre. The whisper kit, an invention by Vinsent Planjer, brings together percussion instruments from various cultures and periods that create a rich rhythmic basis.
