Dutch drummer Joost Lijbaart, vocalist Sanne Rambags and guitarist Bram Stadhouders search for the sound behind silence on the 11 meditative improvisations to be discovered on Under the Surface. As a jazz musician, the drummer is accustomed to improvisation within the structure of tune and melody, but he wanted to let go of those boundaries and improvise spontaneously in the studio with his bandmates. This album is the result of that freedom. "I performed with Bram and Sanne before on some occasions. After a couple of sessions and concerts together the idea of a fully improvised album became a logical next step because we had so much in common. The blend of Sanne’s voice in combination with guitar and drums feels very natural. The lyrics, her whispering, talking and singing are so nigh the human body that it creates a prime vulnerability which makes the music open and accessible. Bram Stadhouders is one of the most creative musicians I know. His presence, both as a soloist or an accompanist plus his profusion of sounds renders all three of us the sensation that we are able to fly. The music on this album is the result of the treasures we found in this room." - Joost Lijbaart

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
