about

For "Balanced", drummer Sven Kosakowski and pianist Marc Mennigmann invited bass player Lukas Keller to THE LAB in Dortmund. The recording was started and they began to let music happen without any previous arrangements or notes.
In the editing process, the pieces were only cut or shortened. This is a collection of ad hoc compositions, sound experiments, improvisations and pieces that sound like they were composed - but aren't.

After "Welcome", "Three Word Poems", "Tracks" and "What We Need", "Balanced" is THE LAB's fifth album.
