PRESS RELEASE
———-
KY is the name of Studnitzky’s multifaceted music project which is minimalistic yet full of layers and diverse sounds. The ECHO Jazz awarded trumpeter & pianist takes his aesthetic influences from electronic music and is performed by a scaled-down instrumental ensemble.
Studnitzky has succeeded in combining virtuoso yet unassuming piano playing with his unique vocal-sounding trumpet style to create light and compelling grooves, delivering strikingly emotional melodies with beautiful clarity. His open approach and eclectic background have enabled him to magically fuse a minimal techno feel with sophisticated voice leading, inspired jazz improvisations and indie pop harmonies. The result is rhythmic, aloof and romantic all at once.
Looking at Studnitzky’s creative output over the last few years, KY organic is clearly pursuing an artistic quest. It is the search for the perfect alchemy between different musical genres and mutual enrichment. Studnitzky has created his own distinct style, successfully finding a balance between being contemporary yet indefinably timeless.
The title track ORGANIC masterfully mixes a church organ with prepared piano so that it is reminiscent of an analogue synthesizer. In LUBA the second drum set sounds as if it has been run through a filtered delay while the piano floats above an epic middle section. WATERGATE pays homage to the renowned techno club in Berlin. Rather than taking its lead from the current zeitgeist, the prepared piano that makes RAIMUNDO sound so electronic has been αppearing in Studnitzky’s recordings since his 2010 album EGIS. SIEBEN is a cleverly constructed club track featuring melancholic piano lines which add emotional depth.C’MON MOVE is another fascinating club track with thickly layered grooves, unapologetically simple harmonic fragments and virtuoso solo flights that never loose their pace. ANEMOS highlights the band’s open attitude to jazz and Studnitzky’s talent for catchy hook lines. The solo section of MILAD sways between improvised trumpet lines and a continuously shifting harmonic landscape. AVISO is the piano ballad which rounds off the album on a contemplative and romantic note.
