(2015 to present)
They call their musical style "philosophical jazz" because their music borns first in the form of thoughts. "When the thought is born, it spreads out like a fairy tale, turning into a mood, a picture, a smell, a touch, a breath until you even can feel the perishing, cold air around you, or until your forehead is sweaty, because the heat of the desert surrounds you. Then you already know what it is about. You can just take your instrument and start to play, start to tell the story. And then everything turns into a sound or silence."
