Common Ground plays music that pushes into new areas, preserving the commitment to expand feel, harmony and pulse. Matthias Akeo Nowak's new album ORIMUSIC features compositions of all four band members, inventing sound narratives with high intensity and a sovereign, calm fire. The playful nuances of their collective improvisations come into their own and the long road Common Ground has travelled can be heard. (Stefan Hentz)
