New York Duo - Higher Perception (2022)

Higher Perception is an instrumental album composed and performed by Christian Zatta (guitar & composition) and Robinson de Montmollin (piano & composition). It contains eight compositions (six originals and two arrangements) and will be released on February 18th 2022, on every online music platform with the German label Mons Records as well as on vinyl. The music tells stories inspired by personal experiences and contemporary events. The fusion of guitar and piano elegantly reflects the intimacy of the works: both instruments are so closely connected that sometimes they can’t be distinguished from one another. Jazz tradition and fresher sounds continually collide, as both artists have a passion for the music of Joe Henderson and Keith Jarrett, but also for the compositions of more modern artists such as Tigran Hamasyan and Ben Wendel.
Higher Perception was recorded in the Schlössli Wartegg (Lucerne, CH) and mixed by Christian Zatta. The master was realized by Tom Hutten, Bionic Mastering Studios (Vermont, USA).
