The history of this record:

Some years ago, Peter Alexius 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, Volume 1" is a 80 minutes - 16 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!

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