Simon Chmel Quartett

Simon Chmel Quartet – Album Release Tour Spherical sounds and singing melodies invite you to dream. On his debut album Light on the surface (Unit Records, 6). April 2023, drummer Simon Chmel deals with a personally difficult time as well as with situations and feelings of the pandemic: What can give confidence and hope? What can be a ray of hope? Together with his quartet, he transforms his thoughts and feelings into musical stories. They interweave acoustic instruments with electronic elements and bring them into a fine balance.

Spherical sounds and singing melodies invite you to dream. In doing so, they consciously focus on the essentials and thus create clarity and transparency. Their mutual trust creates an intimacy between energetic play and fragility. Together they bring the music to breathe and float.
