In their debut album 'Crux' Florian Reider, Lukas Florian and Silas Isenmann present a cross-section of their musical work. However, the CD is not a potpourri, not an indiscriminate accumulation of styles. Due to their own cultural background, each musician possesses an unmistakable signature that flows into the compositions and interpretations. Based on this eclectic way of working, in combination with the independent artistic characters of the band, a diverse body of sound is created, which - consciously making use of tradition - aims to establish a progressive sonority and thus creates a manifold range of expressive possibilities.
'Crux' - meaning 'cross' on the one hand - is meant to represent the intersection of musical influences and ideas, and on the other hand act as a synonym for the difficulty of a debut CD. For all ensembles, a debut release represents a certain key point, i.e. a crux in their career, since the success of the recording contributes to the general success of the ensemble in no small measure.
