In his new project, Jerome Klein works on an array of contrasts in a minimalist setting, slipping into a misty mood of melancholy and dark tones.
In this almost pure setting, his music surprises with loud splinters of light, explosion of energy and even frenetic extasy when the musicians let their passion take over.
Although he has given many hints, Jerome Klein will keep the surprise for his live performance.
