"Nyx" godess of the night that rises from the chaos is the eponym for the debut album of the young german saxophone playerRichard Ebert. His compositions deal with sleep as a matter of everyday loss of reality and self control and the visions, images,phantasies and even delusions that come along with it. The sound created by the band moves stilistically from bebop andpostbop to modern jazz and even rock and pop music without beeing stereotype - it sounds new an contemporary. Filled withhumor, spontaneity and poetry the four musicians combine playful rhythms, impulsive melodies and withdrawn ostinatos. Rapidtime shifts go along with heavy grooves and martial riffs.
