After the cinematic orchestral experience that was his last album, Continuum (conceived in collaboration with the Munich Radio Orchestra under the direction of Patrick Hahn), trumpeter Nils Wülker is back with a new release: Closer. The music on this album is much more sombre and intimate, both in terms of form (the pieces are more similar to songs here) and mood, evoking a whole range of melancholic emotions that are more implicit than explicit.
The song is clearly at the centre of Wülker’s artistic intentions here. He creates a minimalistic, sophisticated ambience with short, delicate trumpet phrases, which are elaborated upon by guitarist Arne Jansen. Together, the two musicians develop a deeply layered sound that pulsates with haunting rhythmic loops. Wülker and Jansen’s take on the duet is orchestrated and arranged, and they allow themselves very few solo digressions. This stunning record is atmospheric, refined and welcoming; it’s beautifully restrained without ever becoming dull or unnecessarily complex. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz
