about
All started as an experimental trio recording at THE LAB in Dortmund. Karlo, Sven and Marc started to jam together. Free improvisations, intuitive music, they played what wanted to be played. The recordings were edited and then sent to Steve, who added sounds and low notes. Mostly he used the same intuitive approach, just playing along to the playback and adding what the music demanded. Finally, we put all this together, stirred it around a little and had "What We Need".
The Lab Manifest:
Create, innovate, collaborate, share.
Be yourself and let the music flow. Challenge yourself and create the unknown. Try to avoid musical habits. Improve yourself and play something new. Take risks, be prepared to fail, but always turn the mistake into something beautiful.
Make quick decisions. If something gets boring stop it or change it. Think process, not product. Give something away and tell a good story. Ignore the rules, but never play a note without a purpose. Play what you like to hear.
Be nice. Love. We are one.
