Description
The nine tracks on "On the Go" sizzle with musical tension, but they are friendly and welcoming, melodically and rhythmically diverse and bubble with ideas at the same time.
"We simply just started off composing," Franz Hellmuller said. "In some cases, I also used and re-composed pieces that I had already played with bands." The repertoire was carefully developed over several years. "We met repeatedly for rehearsals, adding pieces that put even more color into play, Christy Doran recalled. "It was supposed to sound surprising." Both inspire each other's playing and bring new musical sounds into play again and again. "We agreed to play without any special effects," Franz Hellmuller emphasized. "At the same time, we wanted to create a rich bouquet of acoustic impressions from this constellation."
Beady Beast has succeeded impressively in combining the abundance of sound possibilities on their album. "I like the diversity of our entire repertoire," Franz Hellmüller said. "There are freely improvised passages in which we play very melodically, and then there are things that are very percussive or the orchestration plays a big role." "On the Go" is a feast for guitar fans and those who want to become such.
