Anders Filipsen - Stilleben (2020)

New album from Danish composer and keyboardist Anders Filipsen and the praised 10-piece ensemble The Black Nothing.

‘Stilleben’ is an examination of sound where repetition plays an important role through an emphasis on slowness and lingering moments, and where the interplay between improvisation and composition expands the expression of the ensemble even more.

Anders Filipsen intention was to examine this condition and simultaneously create a time-bubble for the listener wherein the ordinary and mundane is made unique and appealing.

Just as with the debut-album ’Paths’, Filipsen is again using imagery and visual motifs as a starting point for the music.
