Kepler

An Edmonton Jazz Festival Show

Kepler’s music uses slowness as a microscope: it might seem plain or static at first, but cracks, abysses, mysteries and miracles are gradually revealed. Every detail reveals its depth, and the minimal becomes poetic. The pieces are short, most of the time, finely chiseled, mesmerizing with their play on resonances, echoes and textures. They are also haunted by true melodies, the other essential aspect of this musical journey. The trio is influenced as much by Brian Eno or Arvo Part, as by Schumann or Keith Jarrett.
