LP version. A journey -- that's how musicians like to describe working on a new album. In the case of krajenski.'s new LP B-3 Vol. 2 it really was a journey. Many ideas were born and discarded, several sessions were played for inspiration, plenty of songs were produced in advance -- the journey is the journey. Then the decisive missing link: krajenski. was able to find the two musicians and producers Dirk Berger (Peter Fox, Seed, Marteria) and Samon Kawamura (Joy Denalane, Max Herre, Till Brönner) for this project. And suddenly the production took a completely different magical turn -- away from a "band album" towards a musical experiment. These three musicians locked themselves up in a studio for two days, let the inspiration flow and recorded everything that happened spontaneously and unplanned. The nucleus can be a small, melodic phrase, a beat or simply a sound from the Hammond organ. The tracks, some of which last ten minutes, were then reduced to their essence and refined with great care and diligence and finally produced -- without changing the original DNA of the material. As there were basically no musical guidelines, the songs have a wide range of styles -- from groovy-funky to atmospheric to boogaloo, bossa nova and Latin. The common thread, however, is always the wonderfully diverse sound of the Hammond organ. But B-3 Vol.2 is not just an instrumental album: Nené Vàsquez from Mo' Horizons recites a hymn to the most legendary of all Hammond organs and MOORE, a rising star from Italy, enhances two further tracks with his voice.
