SOL is the first solo work by the Luxembourg
percussionist, composer and vibraphonist Pascal
Schumacher.
Already in his childhood, he chose the vibraphone
as an exotic and fascinating instrument, as it's
shiny plates and step-shaped tubes sound metallic
and, at the same time, soft and ethereal when
struck with a mallet.
A trance-like state is created in the listener, whom
Schumacher skillfully abducts from everyday life
through filigree played original compositions and
covers by Chilly Gonzales, Ryuichi Sakamoto,
Jarvis Cocker, and Mike Oldfield. SOL is a unique
sound spectacle.
