Simon Spiess: Euphorbia

Spiess, Simon;
Quiet Tree

INT 414

The sound art of the Swiss trio Quiet Tree can be located in a musical square, in which programming, producing and musical virtuosity come together. With a keen sense for at-mospheric moods, the music drifts through multi-faceted soundscapes. Euphorbia grooves, irritates and breathes the vastness and laconic tranquility of a Nordic landscape sur-rounded by an aura of melancholy. “Improvisation, electronic avant garde and jazzrock psychedelia create an intense fu-sion. Simon Spiess on tenor saxofone, Marc Méan on grand piano and synthesizer and Jonas Ruther on drums, as a col-lective they all share the ability to subordinate their playingto a musical storytelling. Their sound has cinematic quali-ties”, writes Luise Wolf in the Liner Notes. Furthermore the album’s digital production by Dan Nicholls carries the weight of a fourth instrument.
