Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr Mosaic

180 gram Black Virgin Vinyl with a free Download Code included! Mosaic. The Wasserfuhr brothers, Julian (trumpet) and Roman (piano) explain the title: It fits in with our musical processes of the past two years. Despite a huge variety in the individual pieces - and also in the emotions associated with them - and even though we have chosen a wide range of musicians and friends to record this music with, the whole album nevertheless forms a coherent picture. It has emerged from our experiences, conversations and encounters with people during this time. Mosaic has also been pieced together from places a long way apart: from the Wasserfuhrs' studio in peaceful Hückeswagen, the small town to the North-East of Cologne where the two brothers, who have always stayed close, grew up and still have their base, to Nashville where they worked (virtually) alongside a dozen other musicians. There is a kaleidoscope of different moods here, including a rap song and a homage to Kurt Cobain... Mosaic, then, in place of a single unvarying concept, represents a cleverly conceived sequence of varying timbres and vistas, and yet the individual and authentic voices of the Wasserfuhr brothers are never absent for a moment. The compositions give room for manoeuvre, musical ideas develop in a way which makes time flow naturally, the pieces are akin to the entries in a diary. There are meetings with acquaintances old and new, near and far. Whereas the production process was both elaborate and unusual, Mosaic, considered together, is a remarkably coherent entity. It is an album to celebrate the joy of making music together.
