about

Robin Verheyen is a musical all-rounder. He knows the New York improv scene like the back of his hand, but also drew inspiration from traditional West African rhythms during many trips to Senegal. With his band TaxiWars he again works with rock musician Tom Barman, while Western classical music also fascinates him beyond measure.
Das musikalische Opfer, Bach's textbook example of counterpoint, inspired Robin Verheyen in 2017 to get to dive into Bach's baroque world. It became a search for the essence of music. The result is a double album ‘Bach Riddles’. An adventurous cross-fertilization between baroque, free improvisation and contemporary jazz.

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Bach Riddles”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
