It’s unbelievable: it felt like ages, but finally we pressed the magic red recording button, and then tracked our new compositions while the cameras were filming us. The result will be wonderful, we are already convinced of that! And some of you have contributed directly to this with “Silent Disco” headphones as an audience! Many thanks to Til and the whole production crew and also to the GVL, thanks to which this production was made possible for Mario and me to this extent. Extraordinary thanks also to our special guest, Stephan Emig accompanying us on percussion and live electronic. Here are photos by Jannik and Louisa (soundcheck and event).

The Fire Orange Project is preparing an upcoming production. Big news – the band now features a new guitar wizard, Florian Kemper! Florian was born in Hanover (Germany) in 1989, lives in Hamburg and is a guitarist and sound nerd. He studied at the music college Hannover and at the Institute for Music in Osnabrück and has been working as a freelance live and studio guitarist for over 10 years. In addition to his diverse sideman activities, he is always looking for creative challenges. So happy to him on board! He fits in perfectly.

Mario and I used the pandemic months to work on new ideas – unfortunately, there wasn’t much we could do with live concerts. Now we look forward to a special EP recording and presenting our new material and in 2022.

Since its inaugural launch screening, hosted by the London Film Academy in February 2021, the short documentary film “Trapped by Plastic” (link) has continued to be recognized for its powerful message throughout the year…

Elbcoast Fusion Quartet is a jazz fusion project from the Hamburg area with saxophone, electric piano, bass and drum set between jazz-funk, fusion, pop and R&B. The quartet only plays original compositions and stands out with its exciting voicings, melodies and themes as well as good groove. The formation around the go-getting keyboardist Hans-Hermann Bornscheuer has been performing since summer 2021 in the line-up of bassist Hardy Best and saxophonist Stephan Schwiderski plus me on the drums.
