Andreas Schaerer, Kalle Kalima and Tim Lefebvre have reinvented themselves for their new project "Evolution". Normally, contemporary jazz and electronic music are among her playgrounds. Quite a top-class musical sport, if you do it so seriously: they have been on stage together for years. Especially for the voice artist Schaerer, who gained attention through his creative beatboxing and his band "Hildegard Lernt Fliegen", perfect body control and ingenuity available on command were normal everyday stage life.
And now "Four Chords and the Truth"? No, but maybe "Twisted Jazzcore Ballads", because they are actually ballads written by Andreas Schaerer, Kalle Kalima and Essi Kalima. It's about self-optimization, as in "Multitasking", about obsessions, as in "Piercing Love", about science fiction dreams and, of course, about love and loss. What is interesting about it is the in-between world in which the songs take place, as if Henry David Thoreau were wandering around in one of James Cameron's fantasy forests.
Musically, the three dare a lot. So far, Schaerer has mainly painted with lutes, but now he wants to give weight to his own content with his voice. And Kalima is now heading for emotional depth instead of dizzying technical flights of fancy. Together with the congenial Tim Lefebvre on bass, both say goodbye to perfection and the fast lane for a short time for this project and turn their innermost selves outwards. Think outside the (Beat)Box.
