Bright Yellow Space is my debutalbum made together with The Solace Band. The album is a blend of compositions by me and a few excerpts of improvisations. I hope it will light up your day, fuel you creative potential and take you to your own bright yellow space.
The Solace band is: Andreas Birk Olesen on keys, Sebastian Kinch on drums, Søren Juul Christensen on upright bass and Jacob Birkeland Steenstrup on trumpet and fluegelhorn.
It’s a record that starts off with an early morning optimism and peacefulness, the atmosphere of a bird singing to you while the sun wakes you up on a shiny day of spring. Halfway through the narrative a night time melancholy falls upon the music, leading to a darker and more chaotic vibration that takes you all the way to the moon. The ending you’ll have to judge for yourself.
