about

Personnel:
Julie Slick - Bass
Peter Alexius - Guitar
Marc Mennigmann - Chapman Stick & Keyboards
Sven Kosakowski - Drums
Zaki Kiokakis - Guitar

Some years ago, Peter took me to a concert of the Adrian Belew Power Trio and I immediately fell in love with the brilliant bass playing of Julie Slick. Several concerts later we decided to bring Julie to Germany someday, make a record with her and play some concerts. And here we are, SAM, the trio Julie Slick, Peter Alexius and Marc Mennigmann.

This record is the essence of one week in the studio. In total we recorded 11 hours of improvised music and we are thrilled to present only the best moments of improvisation, intention and interaction here. "Another Life" is a 160minutes - 31 tracks - 100% improvised album. Every track, every melody, every groove and every note is 100% improvised, so let's call it Progressive-Free-Jazz-Rock!

Included in the download is a 41 page PDF booklet with lots of wonderful photos and background information of this project. Further we added a small video to give you some insight of the recording atmosphere. Finally we added some German newspaper articles about the project..

If you like to burn your own CDs from this download, please add track 1-16 to CD # 1 and track 17-31 to CD #2. Even with 2 seconds of silence between the tracks this will barely fit.

By the way: If you like this album, please also listen to the EP "Yet Another Life" which contains additional 35 minutes of our groovy recordings.
