TOINE THYS / Orlando / N° cat. HR016 - UPC 5059366897477
A variety of styles and tones, subtle rhythms, a music where joy and melancholy are together at every moment. Played with ease, this music invites you to journey into a poetic universe, and opens the door to wide-open spaces. The drumming is airy, and the central double bass breathes like the old tree under which Orlando throws himself.
Sound and silence are skillfully shared with the melodies of the bass clarinet, and the ever-changing chords of the virtuoso piano: musical adventure is at the heart of this quartet.
To encourage listening and interaction between the musicians, they chose to record the entire album in a single open space (without booths nor headphones). They chose the big stage of the Espace Senghor in Brussels, the same place where they will present the album for its official release. Concentration is palpable, and the musicians go by instinct and trust.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Vincent De Bast
Produced by Toine Thys
