Thomas Hass Trio's & Beyond • Lotus Energy

 

 

The packaging starts you thinking. There's a painting showing what looks like ectoplasm, or perhaps a space alien, playing two musical instruments at the same time, like Roland Kirk used to do. Then the cunning addition of an apostrophe in the Trios of the title, to render it meaningless, or perhaps abstract.

Inside there's a selfie shot from low down of a bearded Thomas Hass looking God-like and grim, alongside text explaining his music: "Trio's & Beyond is a musical concept where I can experience the 'spontaneous combustion' in various musical settings and explore the trio format in various forms."

It gets worse. "On this album I have tried letting a special mood that always has lived inside me unfold through nine different compositions. You could call it ballads or melancholic but I see it more like an inner canvas behind the different musical paintings."

El envase te hace pensar. Hay un cuadro que muestra lo que parece un ectoplasma, o quizás un alienígena espacial, tocando dos instrumentos musicales al mismo tiempo, como solía hacer Roland Kirk. Luego, la astuta adición de un apóstrofe en los tríos del título, para quitarle el sentido, o tal vez la abstracción.

En el interior hay una foto de autofoto desde abajo de un Thomas Hass barbudo con aspecto de Dios y sombrío, junto a un texto que explica su música: "Trio's & Beyond es un concepto musical en el que puedo experimentar la "combustión espontánea" en varios escenarios musicales y explorar el formato de trío en varias formas."

La cosa empeora. "En este álbum he intentado dejar que un estado de ánimo especial que siempre ha vivido dentro de mí se despliegue a través de nueve composiciones diferentes. Podrían llamarlo baladas o melancolía, pero yo lo veo más como un lienzo interior detrás de las diferentes pinturas musicales."
