about

Orchestra and Bebop? Finding together in joyful and experimental combination. Sometimes creating the mood of a relaxed
southpacific island, soft wind under the wings of an eagle or the setting for a private detective of the fiftys.
The orchestra playing in perfection, whereas the jazzy wind instruments sometimes seem to catch up with. So, in the orchestra,
Bob is the one playing by heart, improvising within the set environment. The orchestra standing for the devine order of the circles
of stars or seasons and the jazzy brass for man with his quest for finding his place in creation.
Neither the orchestra nor the windinstruments (most of) are real but show the great opportunities of modern technology.
Planning a coverart for the album, Jo Conrad came up with interesting mirroring effects with his photographs, and like in thge music
there are perfect techniques and unexpected results, overcoming otherwise easily boring repetitions.
So, Be like Bob and the orchestra could also mean to encourage you to be independant, not doing what you are being told or
everyone does but try to play your live unexpectedly within the order of creation and respecting the devine.
The music is tuned in 432 Hertz which is said to be more capable to reach the soul.
