MONOGLOT - Resonance (2021) Hi Res

Monoglot’s music thrives on repetitive patterns layered over a pulsating rock grove, pop mock-up and improv. It merges these elements quite accessibly and draws out melodies to shine through the fabric every now and then.

The Basel-, Berlin- and Reykjavik-based quintet expands genre boundaries but is perhaps best described as an avant-rock and creative-minimal-jazz act. It consists of Fabian Willmann and Sebastian Von Keler on tenor saxophones, Kristinn Kristinsson on guitar, Valentin Link on bass and Michael Heidepriem on drums.

In 2021 the band explored a wide range of compositional tools and inspirations, repetitive patterns and arrangements under the name "Resonance". The overarching topic of deep sonic interconnectedness influenced all aspects of the musical work: rhythm, harmony, melody, timbre and intonation.
