Meditating on contemporary music.
Today Kairos opens with the song ‘Baby’ by Donna Blue. At first it sounds like something completely carefree and forgettable from the ’60. But below the surface…Chantal Acda and Bill Frisell let you hear the essence without the fuss. You also hear new music from the album Fieldz by Pieter Nooten and the album ‘Prologue’ by Pieter de Graaf. And if you stick to Kairos you’ll more of both Pieters! And if you continue listening you can enjoy the music you’re used to from Kairos. Each tune carries the essence of the previous tunes in them and like that gives character to the next tune.
