The second single from my upcoming album ABSENT was released today. This composition is inspired by two of my greatest influences, Chris Speed and Paul Motian. At the time, I was deeply immersed in Chris’s solo album “Light Line“ and “Paul’s “Lost in a Dream“ — both of which are profoundly moving to me. With this simple ballad, “Don’t“, I wanted to showcase the clarinet’s clear and pure tone. Felix, Chris, and Fabian weave gracefully around the melody, creating a mysterious and fragile atmosphere that still captivates me every time I listen.
