Hans Ludemann's Rooms - Blaue Kreise (CD)

Second album of the prized German pianist's excellent trioBlue is the color of infinity. Circular movements and cycles are basic principles of life. As musical elements, they are associated with movement and rhythmic energy - as repetitive figures, which charge themselves continually with new energy, stimulate each other and finally start to rotate and dance.To awake such primal forces and to make them audible and sensible is one of the objectives of Hans Lüdemann's ROOMS. They are translated into a sensual and physical musical approach. The musicians embody these musical elements and forces, they are continuously charged with their energies and transfer those to the listener in musical processes. The blue is also the blue of jazz, of 'blue notes', of melancholy and pain. It is amplified into a more intense shade of blue through the microtonal discolorations of the 'virtual piano'. Here and there one could also be reminded of an out of tune piano from historic jazz recordings. Circl
