Twilight detour has now been replaced with beats, samples, choirs and keyboards to me de- scribing dreamingly pictures of Copenhagen and New York, primitive islands in southern Thailand and dusty moon landscapes far away from reality. Inspired by classical composers such as Shostakovich, Bach, Stravinsky and Beethoven I have tried to create specifi c parts for all the instrumets on the CD. I have worked on arranging the music with piano player and producer Rune Borup. We have sampled data fi les from websites, running water, broken minidisc audio players, falsetto vocals, organ beat boxes and we have edited in everything you can imagine. We have been in Brooklyn, New York to record Ben Street, Chris Speed and Chris Cheek and we have been in New Haven, Connecticut to record Mark Turner at the old Yale University. We have eaten thai food, sandwiches from Turkey and banana muffi ns. We have been drinking great coffee, played babyfoot and grown to know each other while the music slowly has been taking form. I am happy and proud of the fi nal result and I hope that whoever listens to ”Sidetracked” will get a good experience out of it. www.jakobbro.com Contact: +45 2332 9262. www.jakobbro.com www.loveland-records.com.
