Indigo is a composition by bass player Jean-Pierre Schaller featuring Rootwords on rap. There's a constant buildup, so listen till the end where besides a complete horn section even a tuba enters the game :-) The basics were recorded live as a band and later enhanced with some additional keyboard, vocal and brass tracks.

Christoph «Kriz Flew» Flueler (tp, flh, tb, synth, sound design)
Julien Boss (rhodes, synths, effects, sound programming)

Again & Again

Wolkenpark – this metaphore describes the sound of the quartet of Swiss musicians pretty accurate! The band is performing its own compositions using an attractice blend of modern club styles, drum‘n‘bass, ambient, electrofunk and chillout. All that becomes their jazzy original brand, being called «Urban Hybrid Sounds». Coming all from a jazz background (three of the guys teach at Swiss jazz schools), they impress with nasty grooves mixing synthesized sounds, live looping and effects with the acoustic sound of their instruments – trumpet (Kriz Flueler), rhodes (Julien Boss), electric bass (Jean-Pierre Schaller) and drums (Johan Wermeille). With Wolkenpark they join their experience of playing together hundreds of gigs in various combinations since the early eighties. If there has ever been a blend of Glasper, Zawinul, Miles and Goldie – here it is.
