Album: LÜFPYRÜN

Recorded at LOFT Cologne, the musical idea of the album LÜFPYRÜN moves between modern creative genre and the elements of jazz tradition. Since 2021, he has played together with the three Cologne-based musicians Adrian Gallet, Daniel Oetz Salcines, Mathieu Clement. After a long creative process in working with Wanja’s compositions, they worked out a distinctive band sound of their own. Here, where the guitar constantly moves between the role of a piano and a horn instrument, the combination takes advantage of its own possibilities and limitations. On the one hand, the band energy thrives with high character on compositions of spirited melodies and fast tempo. In contrast, they also show mindful interplay on atmospheric pieces, where every sound occurs in the right place at the right time.
