Join a meditative journey through unknown landscapes from rainforest wilderness to mountain highlands when the new group Maraton celebrate their debut-album, out on Barefoot Records the 13h of March. The release is marked with a show at Musikcafeen, presented by ALICE. Mija Milovic will open the night with a solo set.

The 40 min cinematic album has been a long trip in itself for the 4 musicians who created this music through improvised maraton-concerts, curated as different challenges, from playing 9 hours straight with no breaks, to playing 4 times 1 hour in 1 day. Four musicians with very different backgrounds, ranging from popular music and hip hop to experimental freejazz, wanted to experience how this kind of physical and mental challenge influences creativity and music. Would they come closer to transcending, would they get a stronger connection between them, or would the challenges reveal things in themselves and their musical practice that they did not know before? An enormous amount of material has been listened to, selected, edited and produced, but with the dogma of no overdubs. This evening the band will share their experimental space with you and create music on the spot based on courage and curiosity.
