The Hall Revisited

"Post-holiday chaos in sound: a lone guitar drones a single note while turbo-charged sax and trumpet race around a simple unison motif, perfectly capturing the hectic rhythm of returning to a crowded workspace."

Back to work

The tunes blend different styles, drawing inspiration from Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and the late 20th-century Amsterdam jazz scene while incorporating modern elements like samples and beats that lend it a more upbeat, danceable energy—much like the vibe of "The Hall Revisited" and "At Home" from the EP "Cubicle Life."
