"The hymns to the night of Novalis, the romantic poet par excellence, are poetic expression and climax of this movement. Novalis speaks of a poetry of night and twilight. The magic, depth and complexity of his language inspired Theo Jörgensmann and Albrecht Maurer to use extracts from hymns to the night for their musical journey..."

„The duo of Albrecht Maurer and Norbert Rodenkirchen, on a variety of fiddles and flutes respectively, are free to carry on the flying dialogue of wind and bird liberated from the earthly constraints of a rhythm section. As in their previous Nemu release Hidden Fresco ... Albrecht and Norbert have taken inspiration from the visual arts – in particular the painter, sculptor and collagist Max Ernst.“ Nou Dadoun, Vancouver

"MOVIE TALKS" is the name of this collection, in which I take various films as sources of inspiration. Musically, their dramaturgy, their mood or free associations, which are ignited by them, are implemented both as 'ideas' of musical themes and conceptually with regard to improvisation processes.

The music sounds new, fresh and exciting, because instead of placing improvisation within a piece as a compositional element, Maurer creates compositions that sound as if they are growing out of improvisation and vice versa. This music doesn't stand alone, it sets a standard for how jazz should sound at the end of the century change. (Coda Magazine Canada)
