“a supreme case of empathetic music making in which respect doesn't cow either adventure or surprise” - AllAboutJazz

The follow-up to our Planktonic Finales album, Channels was recorded live at the fabled unerhört!-festival in Zürich in late November, 2017. It was a magical evening, all around, with a fine bill or artists and an amazingly focussed audience. And well-recorded, too. I’m so glad we captured this and that our friends at Intakt were eager to release it.
