””Mosaic””. The Wasserfuhr brothers, Julian (trumpet) and Roman (piano) explain the title: ”It fits in with our musical processes of the past two years. Despite a huge variety in the individual pieces – and also in the emotions associated with them – and even though we have chosen a wide range of musicians and friends to record this music with, the whole album nevertheless forms a coherent picture. It has emerged from our experiences, conversations and encounters with people during this time.” ”Mosaic” has also been pieced together from places a long way apart: from the Wasserfuhrs” studio in peaceful Hückeswagen, the small town to the North-East of Cologne where the two brothers, who have always stayed close, grew up and still have their base, to Nashville where they worked (virtually) alongside a dozen other musicians. There is a kaleidoscope of different moods here, including a rap song and a homage to Kurt Cobain…

”Mosaic”, then, in place of a single unvarying concept, represents a cleverly conceived sequence of varying timbres and vistas, and yet the individual and authentic voices of the Wasserfuhr brothers are never absent for a moment. The compositions give room for manoeuvre, musical ideas develop in a way which makes time flow naturally, the pieces are akin to the entries in a diary. There are meetings with acquaintances old and new, near and far. Whereas the production process was both elaborate and unusual, ”Mosaic”, considered together, is a remarkably coherent entity. It is an album to celebrate the joy of making music together.
