In 2017 I released an album with a big band (at least for my standards) of 12 musicians, the band was called Abschattungen and the album «The Ear Cannot Be Filled With Hearing ». Abschattungen in german means «shadowing» , or »shading» .
To adumbrate.

Aufheben, always in German, means « to keep » (material things) and «to abolish» (immaterial ones). It also means «to raise». And «to reduce».

These 2 terms are the base of my research on german phylosophy and abstract funk, mixing/finding threads in between these 2 « concepts » is one of my recent obsessions.

«Reflection Is Circular» is the ideal continuation of «The Ear Cannot Be Filled With Hearing», being Aufheben the «reduced» version of Abschattungen.
