About

This album documents an early phase in the artistic focus on the vibraphone. The programme reflects a period of exploration and orientation, combining original compositions with works by composers and performers who significantly shaped the musical development at that time.

Alongside the first own pieces, the recording includes several transcriptions and interpretations of external repertoire, offering a snapshot of study, influence and emerging specialisation on the instrument.
