Info for BLOMMA

Zeitlose Klangblüten: Vorweg eine simple Frage: was ist das Ergebnis, wenn zwei Komponisten, die für sich selbst zeitlose Musikkunst erschaffen, eine Fusion eingehen? Die Antwort beinhaltet 6 Buchstaben – BLOMMA. Dahinter verbergen sich die zwei Musiker Jacob Pavek und Philip Daniel, keine unbeschriebenen Blätter auf Gezeitenstrom Musik. BLOMMA ist auch der Titel ihres Debütalbums, welches Ende Februar über Moderna Records erscheint. Was da auf einem zukommt, ist die Quintessenz an romantisierender Klangästhetik im Gewand des neoklassischen Ambient. Wie eine Rose im Frühling erblühen hier zeitlose Musikstücke.

Wer noch nie über beide Namen gestolpert ist, ein kleines Porträt über die zwei Künstler. Die erste Begegnung mit der klassischen Musik erlebte Jacob Pavek im Alter von 21. Jahren. Nach seinem Abschluss in Musikkomposition veröffentlichte der Komponist 2012 sein Debütalbum „Bloom“. 2019 erschien das Album NOME, welches auf dieser Seite in den Jahreshighlights gewürdigt wurde. Philip Daniel Zach stammt aus Nebraska, er ist neben dem Beruf des Komponisten auch Lehrer. Mit seiner Albumreihe „Between Us“ hat er sich einen ganz speziellen Platz im Herzen verdient. Zitat: „Ein aufgehender Stern in der modernen Klassik, der über ein enormes Musikverständnis verfügt. Das Album ist definitiv eine Perle in diesem Musikbereich und jedem zu empfehlen, der feinfühlige Klaviersonaten schätzt und liebt.“ Man erahnt also schon im Vorfeld, welche ambitionierte Musik die beiden Künstler auf ihrem Debüt verewigt haben.

BLOMMA

Philip Daniel Zach
is a composer, pianist, and teacher from Lincoln, Nebraska. Zach did his graduate work at the UMKC Conservatory in Piano Performance and his undergraduate studies at Hastings College, where he earned a Bachelor's in Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy.

During his undergraduate years, Philip discovered a passion for creating his own music. He was heavily inspired by contemporary classical composers such as Olafur Arnalds, NIls Frahm, Philip Glass, Max Richter and more by their ability to transmit powerful emotions thru simplistic, minimalistic sound while each possessing their own unique “voice” in a non-cliche manner. Zach aims to follow in these musicians footsteps by blending aspects of classical music, minimalism, cinematic qualities, and more. He seeks to appeal to the seasoned, trained musician as well as the normal, non-musically inclined listener in a way that can impact both. His debut album, “Gradient”, is a compilation of seven original compositions that best depicts this beginning stage of his composing career and is out now on Spotify and itunes. His sole purpose as a composer is to create music thats primary goal is to convey unequivocal emotion and to make people truly “feel”. Zach believes that music has a unique ability to cause change in the world by this personal connection to individual listeners and aims to be a small part in positively impacting his community thru his music.

Zach currently resides in Lincoln where he is an intern at The Grid recording studio and runs his own private piano teaching studio. He has several performances scheduled for the spring and is currently working on an upcoming album that is set to release in the summer of 2018. For more info, recordings, videos, etc…

Jacob Pavek
Since the release of his last studio record “Illume” in 2015, Minnesota-based composer Jacob Pavek filled the next few years fulfilling various milestones in his career. In 2016 he opened for Jóhann Jóhannsson, an idol of his, and created an Emmy-Nominated Soundtrack to the documentary “Hello Montevideo”--all the while writing compositions that make up his Junior 2019 release," NOME".

Rather than intentionally writing about specific subject matter, NOME is primarily Pavek reacting to certain feelings and moments in his life listening sub-consciously, whether it be rooted in a dream (2040), missing a loved one (True North) or the tragic social events of today’s age (Pulse). However, the album title “NOME” itself is meant for pure aesthetics rather than convey any subject matter directly. Here, the listener is free from bias and given room to create their own world from it. NOME will be out on Unperceived Records February 8th, 2019.

This album contains no booklet.
