Kardamena + TKKS // Niklouds 4tet

Kardamena, a ballad written in the delimitation of a peaceful greek village, performed as a duo with pianist Simon Raab.

TKKS stands for the partly fictional German gem Teufelskreisküchensuite, a rather avant-gardistic free piece with many little anchor-melodies and signature rhythms. It can be understood as a constructive review on the ever repeating schemes of humanity. The ones that should be reflected deeper, before executing them always in the same way.
