Album Notes & Community Reviews

Exploring the extreme sonic possibilities of his custom-built electric upright bass, this deeply immersive album leans heavily into minimalist, symphonic jazz. 'Chorus' utilizes extensive multi-tracking and synthesizer pads, allowing Weber to act as his own backing orchestra while employing soaring, melodic improvisations over complex, rolling rhythms. The record stands as a pristine example of the lush, atmospheric sound world cultivated by the ECM label.
