about the cd

The plan for + arose from being a young parent, and dealing with the combination of working on music at the same time. Focusing on long-form music proved to be challenging, so I came up with the idea to work on super short tracks that each could be made within a short span of time, and to do this with โ€˜a fewโ€™ collaborators. This concept worked out brilliantly, especially because of the enthusiastic responses from the artists I invited to join, and in no time the project grew a lot bigger than anticipated. So, + is a selection of no less than 52 short pieces, each with a different collaborator. The variety is huge, with jazz cats, electronica wizards, classical players, and more.

Each contributor was asked to send a one-minute recording. No other guidelines were given (because I love surprises). These submissions were then treated or reworked into the audio miniatures youโ€™ll find on the album. And itโ€™s safe to say that these tracks are all over the place, stylistically. Next step was to sequence everything into a more or less coherent album.

Itโ€™s up to the listener to decide if that mission was accomplished, but it surely is an intruiging trip.
