Info for Affinity

Wunderschön! Melodisch! Entspannen Sie sich... Entspannend! Stilistisch abweichend von seinem bisherigen Solomaterial, dreht sich Affinity um die Konstante in Bills vielfältiger musikalischer Karriere: das Klavier. Nachdem sich frühere Alben mit elektronischer Musik beschäftigten, war ein Solo-Klavier-Album etwas, das Bill schon lange in Erwägung gezogen hatte: "Ich wollte schon immer ein Solo-Klavier-Album machen, solange ich mich erinnern kann. Solo aufzutreten, bedeutet musikalische Freiheit in ihrer reinsten Form, und es gibt keine andere Umgebung, in der ich mich mehr zu Hause fühle. Mein letztes Studioalbum Cables sollte ursprünglich ein Solo-Klavieralbum werden, entwickelte sich aber schnell zu etwas ganz anderem, bei dem eine endlose Reihe von Synthesizern und Gitarrenpedalen zum Einsatz kam. Diesmal wollte ich das Instrument in seiner ganzen Pracht zelebrieren, ganz allein."

"Affinity zeigt Laurance' poetischen Melodismus vom Feinsten" (Mike Flynn, Redakteur, Jazzwise)
