Jacob, Beck & Klein

concert
The joint musical work of Michael Jacob, Ralf Beck and Thomas Klein has its origins in excessive analog synth sessions - a never-ending stream of musical output.

The pieces, which mostly emerged from improvisations and spontaneous interplay, were increasingly condensed and distilled into concrete arrangements.

Jacob, who is at home in classical music and has studied and practiced baroque music, now lives out his skills in electronic analog form. His staccato-like, rhythmic playing on the keys continues to revolve around the baroque style and bears witness to a strict formal character.

Beck is no stranger to music. As a composer, producer and remixer with international top 10 chart placements and as part of the formations Nalin & Kane, Unit 4 and Die wilde Jagd, he has built up a considerable musical fund. He demonstrates his production talent in his own unique Urwald Orange Studio.

Klein is also known as the drummer for the electronic band Kreidler and as a solo musician under the project name Sølyst. He brings his years of tried and tested, polished, original drumming to the minimal line-up as a rhythmic and sonic extension.

The meeting of these different musical approaches (Klein and Beck with electronic music backgrounds, Jacob as a viola gambist of baroque music) generates an idiosyncratic minimalist band sound that is more concerned with atmospheric than virtuoso formulation.

Stringent, repetitive playing creates kaleidoscopic, shimmering facets of changing themes. An idiosyncratic musical narrative crystallizes, which leads to a hypnotic machine work of electronic analog sounds with an elusive genre classification.
