That evening, we had a guest listener from the Tonmeistergilde (German Association of Sound Engineers) who was interested in experiencing our creative process live. After listening to the fertile album a few days later, he wrote the following comment.

I listened to the recordings with interest!

Overall, it sounds very balanced and consistently groovy, with a strong foundation in drums and bass—it all carries very confidently.

I find the keyboard exciting, quite experimental, with beautiful tonal ideas that add color to the whole without overloading it. The guitar is appropriately placed in the foreground, present but not dominant. The wind instruments (saxophones and flute) are also cleanly integrated and fit harmoniously into the overall picture.

I particularly like the concept of openly documenting the rehearsal work and making it accessible. It's completely transparent and very consistent – a wonderful institution that takes the process seriously and not just the result.

Please give my regards to your colleagues and all the best for the new year.
