Музыка и песни Niels Klein, Tubes And Wires / Niels Klein, Tubes And Wires

An iridescent fusion of wind instrumnets and electronics makes for entertaining sci-fi jazz. Niels Klein has always questioned genre boundaries,, his interest in music and sound is far too wide. "What is jazz at all?" Asks the saxophonist and clarinetist. His answer: "Most of what is interesting leaves behind traditional categorizations." Born in 1978 in Hamburg and since his studies in Cologne, he has distinguished himself as a composer and director of various formations in recent years. While Klein was awarded several times for his elaborate compositions and his expressive and colorful play, he goes with his quartet Tubes & Wires in other directions. Here, the tension field of natural and electronically generated sounds, the encounter of wood and electricity is explored. In addition, solos and sounds are equally justified. At the same time, Klein again demonstrates his sense for special concepts. The dazzling fusion of blues and electronics, the mix of atmospheric-refined banding and exciting improvisations, gives Tubes & Wires' second album an equally idiosyncratic and entertaining sci-fi jazz. Most of the songs were recorded live in the studio in three days. About half of the repertoire had already written the quartet on tour, the rest wrote to Klein within a year.
