Description
Rauke (trans: arugula): this peculiar word from the plant world is above all one thing for Shogo Seifert: Sound! Those who expect a deeper meaning behind the group name can relax. The trumpeter and composer from Berlin decides intuitively when in doubt--in every respect. This also applies to the music he conceived, felt and composed for this special octet. From a formal point of view, this is a classical jazz quartet line-up, complemented by a string quartet. Shogo Seifert considers the group to be a unit of eight and has composed for them accordingly. A rather handcrafted, rationally "technical" approach is foreign to him. "I need an emotional connection to transfer energy into music."
The title of the album, Seifert's debut, points to the origin of the music. The "Causes of Imagination" are "personal experiences that have nothing to do with music", he explained. Seifert's creative work is nourished by events and experiences that he tries to process. They create that energy in him from which he creates his compositions.
