Bear Garden - Hue (2021) Hi Res

Light and sound vibrate. Movements transmitted through space and time. Music and color become one.

After releasing his international acclaimed jazz album “Sunshine Fruit” in February 2021 Bear Garden is now back with the very intimate EP “Hue” captured live at Atlantis Studio in Stockholm.

With his new EP “Hue”, saxophonist and composer Bear Garden creates vast musical movements in a minimalistic format. Martin Wirén, the man behind Bear Garden, usually accompanied by his dynamic eight-man band is now exploring the intimacy of the duo, with pianist Anton Dromberg. In four stripped down compositions light and sound join together into an ambient musical landscape.

Bear Garden ́s new EP contrasts from his previous albums, characterized by complex structures and big arrangements. With “Hue”, Bear Garden widens his musical expression and airs a more personal side.

“Playing duo is inspiring. It creates open spaces and voids that enrich the music. The difference between silence and music – darkness and light become at the same time absolute and subtle.”
