Weightless, transparent, and full of movement, the quartet’s latest album aERO – four seasons VOL.1 reflects the very essence of air. “The sound of the instruments is almost made for air,” says Ingmar Jenner. “Everything that is moving air has a very broad spectrum of sound. And every string instrument can capture that perfectly. When you listen closely to what happens around the statement, the fundamental tone, you hear so much. It’s not about imitation, but about creating that atmosphere. The wind you hear at the beginning of the album is played.” The quartet’s music can hover almost imperceptibly like a gentle breeze, then suddenly surge like a gust of wind. With delicate sonic colors, electronic accents, and precise interplay, the four musicians create an acoustic portrait of air that opens up new spaces for musical visions. This is a work that not only breathes, but also leaves you breathless—and they will present it at Jazz&TheCitysounds.

With aERO – four seasons VOL.1, the quartet presents its very own interpretation of the air of spring and summer.
