About the Event

Four young musicians transform their musical faith into C.A.R., a quest for musical spirituality.

With flaming empathy, they develop a trip-like melange of jazz and electronics, improvisation and experiment, science fiction and film noir, krautrock and cyberpunk. Gleaming energy, kaleidoscopic thoughtfulness, subtle finesse and an undeniable love for the beat — capitalization of an intoxicating mix: C.A.R.

Line up:

Leonhard Huhn — saxophone, electronics

Christian Lorenzen — wurlitzer, synthesizers

Kenn Hartwig — double bass, effects

Johannes Klingebiel — drums

C.A.R. was founded in 2011 by Johannes Klingebiel and Kenn Hartwig in Cologne, Germany. Originally a quintet playing wild experimental jazz music with a pop approach, they eventually kicked the guitar and found their strength to be a subtly flowing melange of kraut-like arrangements infused with electronic and jazz sounds. Featuring drums, double bass, a wurlitzer stage piano, korg and oberheim synthesizers as well as an alto saxophone heavily altered by electronic effect devices, their tunes leave a lot of space for improvisation, but not in classical jazz way with one soloist dominating the music, but always as a delicate web of sound which has a potential to take their audience on an enticing trip. Among the highlights of the band ́s career were gigs at festivals such as at Fusion and L*abore.

The first album, "Beyond The Zero“ was released in 2014 by the Swiss label Unit Records and was well received by audiences and critics alike. As of now, the follow-up EP “Interlude“ was released in the summer 2017, while a new album was recorded in September.

“Delicate jazz textures with freakout noise and digital vamps. A journey worth taking.“

“Through a variety of electronic effects and a strong rhythm, their music becomes meditative indeed.“
- Dietmar Ebert, Thüringische Landeszeitung
