Info zu Consumer

Eine ungemein kraftvolle Verbindung von verschiedenen Ausprägungen von Jazz mit Postrock, Progrock und sogar auch Noiserock. Das dreifach für den Echo Jazz nominierte Berliner Trio (Schlagzeug, Bass, Gitarre, Electronic) beeindruckt massiv auf seinem neuen Album sowohl bei atmosphärisch wunderschönem instrumentalem, innere Landschaften vor dem Auge generierenden Postrock-Jazz wie bei "Matter", aber auch wenn verzerrte Rockgitarren im Clash mit Jazzbass und -Drums und weiteren Noise-Effekten zu Hochform auflaufen (z.b. "Feeder" oder "Strategy Song"). Bands wie Tortoise, Mogwai bis Motorpsycho sind dabei immer in Reichweite. Das aus Peter und Bernhard Meyer sowie Moritz Baumgärtner bestehende Trio beeindruckt mit ähnlicher Klasse wie die legendäre Chicago-Postrock-Schule mit einem subtilen Sound im stetigen, sich verändernden Fluss, virtuos, kraftvoll, gefühlvoll und ungemein dynamisch gespielt.

Melt Trio
Through many concerts together over the last years the Melt Trio has grown together to a unit, almost to a musical organism. From their great palette of ways of expression they unerringly and pointedly chose the right tone colors at the right time. Collaborations with Jan Bang, Tony Malaby, John Hollenbeck, Jim Black or Theo Bleckmann have further matured the three personalities. Quieter moments live from the nuances and the finely intertwined parts that continuously intensify and grow more acute or at other times are interspersed with abrupt expressions flashing up. The dynamics are wide, but seldom happen suddenly; instead they slowly swell up and down again. The individual pieces are reminiscent of a meandering river, at times contemplative, at other times whirled by rapids. The Melt Trio creates meditative as well as nearly ecstatic moods. Arcs of suspense develop because the music is always moving forward within the composition, as opposed to the very common turning in circles.

“… an ongoing variation on the guitar trio involving a highly personalized mixture of jazz, rock and atmospherics.” DownBeat Magazin“

“Unique, individual, absorbing and touching, spreading its wings like an albatross, so closely calling from a far distance.” Wolf Kampmann

„These melodies are of such compelling beauty, that they want to be heard again and again. And they are so catchy, that one believes to have known them for many years, exactly as if every sunrise emerged around these melodies.“ (Jazzthing)
