quiet fortitude
Karolina Strassmayer (alto saxophone, flute, alto flute), David Friedman (vibraphone),Hans Glawischnig (bass), Drori Mondlak (drums).
“Nothing in this musical encounter was planned. Except that, at some point, during the concert, we would play three of my new tunes: Quiet Fortitude, Both Held and Free, and Aahhh!. Everything else you hear on this CD arose from the free flow of ideas. Being in the moment and touching upon my own inner music make me brim with aliveness. Embodying and radiating this aliveness is my greatest joy.” (Karolina Strassmayer)
Our new CD is out!
freescapes
Drori Mondlak (drums), Karolina Strassmayer (alto saxophone, flute), Rainer Böhm (piano), Thomas Stabenow (bass).
Freescapes, to us, are those musical landscapes that offer full creative freedom. Traversing them is much like jumping into the ocean and swimming out towards the horizon, with strength and conviction, yet allowing the currents to steer our path. This recording opens a chapter in our musical journey defined by a desire for spontaneity, curiosity, and the free flow of ideas.
