about

When the first lockdown in March occurred, I was faced with the fact that my creative side wanted to work despite the cancellation of all concerts. I thought of the options and suddenly the idea of long-distance improvisation popped up.

Hasse has been one of my favorite improvisers for years, having played with so many incredible musicians and creating so much great music. I e-mailed him to ask if he would do an improvised album and he said yeah! and let’s also compose, as well as freely improvise... I have
been combining complex composition and free improvisation for years, so I loved the idea.

Basically we co-wrote the music... everything was so natural, it seemed as if we had played together for years... it was so easy to improvise with Hasse, such a great player! I’m very happy and privileged that we were able to do this record. Hope to do it live on stage soon!!!!

Samo


and then in the middle of the confinement a mail suddenly turned up from a Slovenian guitarist: ”how about making a few improvisations together?” I looked up who he was, and saw that he played with many great musicians and since I also want to be a great musician, I had to play with him as well. ”How about using compositions?»

He wrote ”great” or something to that extent and five minutes later I sent him a few recent compositions to see how he would respond. Another seven minutes later he sent me some revised versions back along with some of his own compositions and by sunset we had started the recordings.

I am really amazed at the result and at how easy it is to work with Samo. He takes the music one step further, and then another. He makes everything possible.
