Koptor - Fire Sink (2011)

Fire Sink is the second album by Koptor. Koptor performs original music written by the young and on the rise Canadian/Denmark based drummer/composer Kevin Brow. The band is a coalition of four innovative and internationally acclaimed musicians from Canada and Denmark.

Koptors first self-titled album was released in 2008 and was welcomed with exceptional reviews in Canada, Europe and USA. With Fire Sink, Brow takes Koptors music one-step further, by diving deeper into different elements of long-composition, while maintaining certain elements of rawness.

Koptors music freshly unifies detailed compositions with free invention. The music balances and fluidly blends rawness with meticulousness, ugliness with beauty and simplicity with complexity. In other words, the music is structured by the attraction of opposites.

These original and internationally recognized musicians from Canada and Denmark form a unique musical collaboration that uncompromisingly explores and blends different cultural and musical backgrounds. This collaboration gives Koptors music depth and a mysterious edge that in turn, blurs the boundaries of jazz genres and gives the listener the sense of the known, the unknown and the unexpected.
