Schrecker: Intermezzo

Recently I found the work of a fantastic trumpet player and composer here on SoundCloud: Vivek Patel https://soundcloud.com/vivek-patel. It was always my wish to have a truly great trumpet player on one of my flamencoated tracks, for one because trumpet is one of my favorite instruments in it's sound, dynamic range and voice-like expression. Secondly, Jazz is one of the musical styles I love, in which I always was most exited about the trumpet solos. 

To increase the excitement I also asked my SC buddy, the great fretless bassplayer Mirko Borach https://soundcloud.com/stringburner to join in the fun, who always brings such a thrilling drive to the music and such rich tone.

This one is as I call it a flamencoated track which blends several styles. From flamenco to Jazz, some Middle Eastern motives and a touch of orchestral strings background. This one is a tribute to Michael Brecker's great Two Blocks from the Edge, which I've always loved for it's dark atmosphere. The ones familiar with Brecker's work and catalogue will recognize some of the themes in this one.

I am happy to present this unusual track with an eerie atmosphere and crossover quality: Close to the Edge.

We hope you'll like it!

Attention visitors,
For more than seven years, a hacker has set my follower count to the number of the beast, 666. I've notified SoundCloud management and the police about this bizarre crime on several occasions, but neither party has followed through with a solution. Let it be known that although I am an atheist, I do not now, nor have I ever had any interest or connection to satanism, witchcraft, voodoo, occultism, or whatever foul ideologies my persecutors will have you believe I condone.
