Carsten Pieper Thomas Steffen calls himself a drummer but in fact, he's a veritable one-man band (drums, of course, guitar, bass, keys, trumpet, saxophone - astounding!). But he's never showing off on this album, instead this is very calm and soothing music. If you know Bohren & der Club of Gore, that would be a good comparison for how this album feels. Bohren call their music Dark Jazz (besides other tags), which is quite fitting here, too. Great album! Favorite track: long distance.

about

Ein Schlagzeuger-Album, welches das Drumset nicht in den Vordergrund spielt. Es geht am Ende um Musik - auch wenn am Anfang der Herzschlag steht. Thomas Steffen lernte bei Wolfgang Ekholt und in Meisterklassen bei Mustapha Tettey Addy sowie Nippi Noya: Spielt immer gerne improvisierte Musik.

A drummer album that does not play the drumset in the foreground. It's all about music in the end - even if the heartbeat is at the beginning. Thomas Steffen studied with Wolfgang Ekholt and in masterclasses with Mustapha Tettey Addy and Nippi Noya: Always likes to play improvised music.

Un album de batteur qui ne joue pas de la batterie au premier plan. Tout est question de musique à la fin - même si le rythme cardiaque est au début. Thomas Steffen a étudié avec Wolfgang Ekholt et des masterclasses avec Mustapha Tettey Addy et Nippi Noya: aime toujours jouer de la musique improvisée.
