Recorded the guitar on my phone a few years back. Finally decided to put it out.

Hess recently returned from performing a series of ensemble concerts in New York and now sets his sights on his home of Denmark with several shows lined up, among them a sold out release concert at Hotel Cecil. The album, titled CÆKE, will drop April 23 and sees Hess return as (mostly) solo act.

Trained as a drummer, Hess started Hess Is More as an electronic solo project in the mid 00’s and has since evolved into a larger ensemble featuring musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Hess Is More has released 10 albums and several EP’s and cross-disciplinary works in a career spanning two decades.

Hess Is More has received high acclaim as a live act, winning multiple awards for their cross-disciplinarian shows that often feature elements of theater and art installation.

Danish pop duo Subnesia present their new single, ‘Les Cris Dans Le Vent’ featuring vocalist Wafande.
 
'Les Cris Dans Le Vent' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The track is a fiery little piece of pop craftmanship, wrought in r’n’b rhythms, organ hooks and electric pianos. Danish singer Wafande, who has French and African roots, delivers the fiercely spirited vocals in French.
 
Danish producers Michael Rune and Anders Ponsaing, who make up the duo, bring a keen melodic focus and an open, collaborative spirit to their craft. Their music goes in many directions but is powered by strong hooks, delicate production, and a playful spirit.
 
‘Les Cris Dans Le Vent’ will feature on Subnesia’s fothcoming album for Music For Dreams, following their 2023 debut The Beginning.

Everybody Knows (Prayer is Free) 🎻 🎼 FLOWsutra Cello Freedom Magic Indie Folk Song 🕊️🪄✨

Every ​⁠@bananasutra song is a humble pep talk (at least to myself;), an agnostic prayer of sorts—this one was inspired by #leonardcohen #peace #poetry minus #theirony (bc I’m nowhere as cool as Leonard ;)

“Everybody Knows” Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Can we forget the foolishness, just for tonight?
Can we forget the hatred, step into the light?
Can we set it all down, hold each other tight?

[Chorus]
‘Cause everybody knows we can’t fight hate with more hatred,
Everybody knows we can’t win love with fear,
Everybody knows we can’t cure pain with vengeance,
Everybody knows we won’t find truth if we’re insincere.

[Verse 2]
Can we forgive the drama, give each other grace?
Can we release the dogma, let it find its place?
Can we heal the trauma, start a new embrace?

[Chorus]
‘Cause everybody knows we can’t beat fire with fire,
Everybody knows we can’t lift chains with chains,
Everybody knows we can’t find peace with anger,
Everybody knows we won’t heal wounds with blame.

[Verse 3]
Can we silence the noise, just one quiet night?
Can we look past our faults, give up the fight?
Can we let it go, step into the light?

[Chorus]
’Cause everybody knows we can’t crush fear with more fear,
Everybody knows we can’t make joy from lies,
Everybody knows that the answer’s in kindness,
Everybody knows we’ll fall if we never rise.

[Outro]
Yeah, everybody knows… but does anyone care?
Everybody talks, but is anyone there?
Everybody’s waiting, but will anyone dare?
Everybody knows… but only love can repair.

JRBB:  Moebius Strip EP
(Additional beat production by COEO. Remix by Brandt Brauer Frick)
Label: Kryptox 

"...surprising, individualistic, cutting-edge and irrepressibly fun" (The New York Music Daily)

JRBB is a German 15 person big band that combines Jazz with Electronica. Additional beat production by COEO (Toy Tonics). On this EP is a rework from JRBB friends BRANDT BRAUER FRICK included. 
This EP is the first release on KRYPTOX: a new Berlin based label for Neo-Krautrock/JazzElectronica/Experimental music.

The new label is made by Mathias "Munk" Modica. The producer behind indiedance labels Gomma and Toy Tonics. (Modica produced records with people like James Murphy, WhoMadeWho, Peaches, Daniel Avery, The Rammellzee a.o.)
With the new label he goes a step further. Searching for new artists who experiment on a high musical level and go beyond boundaries. Far away form the traditional dance universe. 

The first release on Kryptox comes from JRBB. A 15 piece Jazz group that has a very own, new way to combine Jazz with electronic elements. A New York newspaper called it ODM: Organic Dance Music. A term that fits well.
Even if it's hard to pin down JRBB's music - as it is so unique. There is no other band like this. But there is growing new scene of musicians that combine Jazz with electronic styles: Artists like The comet is coming, Kemasi Washington, Moses Boyd, Yussef Kamaal, ...

All of the JRBB's members are in their end 20ies and studied Jazz at international high profile jazz universities. Leonhard Kuhn is the composer and arranger of most of JRBBs music and trombonist Roman Sladek is the band leader and producer. 
The four compositions on Moebius Strip are all based on a straight 4/4 beat pattern (that has been sound designed by Munich's upcoming house producers COEO). Over that rhythmic base JRBB expand their ostinato-horn/bass patterns that often start with simple one tone unisono lines, but slowly grow into huge, emotive, complex structured arrangements. Imitating the structures of dance tracks with breakdowns and DJ tool dynamics, but going much further. In JRBB's compositions you can hear influences from certain late 1960 Hardbob music, as well as 1970ies Jazzfunk and Modern Jazz and certain artists that came out of New York's Knitting Factory scene from the 1990ies.

In Germany there is already a buzz for JRBB's energetic live shows. Last year they played more then 90 shows. Creating huge euphoria wherever they come on stage. The buzz reached the artistic directors of Lincoln Center in New York: the holy place of Jazz in the USA. The director Meera Dugal invited JRBB. And so in August 2016 the band played there and was euphorically received by press and audience.

Lincoln Center impresario Meera Dugal talked to The New York Music Daily about the band: 
„Who here has heard German techno big band jazz before? This was a first for me! And I have to say: This large scale German ensemble is surprising, considering how individualistic, cutting-edge and irrepressibly fun they are – their instrumentation follows the standard big band jazz model. Stylistically, they're all over the map. This seventeen-piece outfit validated their reputation as one of the world's most distinctive and adrenalizing dance outfits.“

JRBB - Trust In Me

The beach was busy with human life upon the first date in July. It was as if half of the country had flocked from far and wide to touch down upon the shore and watch the waves slowly roll in against the golden sand. The heat poured down upon the crowds from the radiant sun which shone brightly up high above. The sky was a crystal clear blue and the sound of sweet music travelled softly upon the warm summer breeze. In cafes some watched others swim whilst afraid to dunk their own feet, they drank from straws a golden liquid made for a day beneath the light. 

We love a good edit here at Ransom Note, it can be a fine art, a thing of delicate beauty. The Rollover DJ's have reworked "Che Cavolo Di Vita Fai" in a showcase of balearic beauty.
