A fantastic band… with audible pleasure and genius they turn the photos into music. Could not be more beautiful.” IJazzflits)
“Like a suite – the more you listen the more secrets it reveals. Resembles the orchestrated work of Gil Evans that … allows itself to be molded to the listener’s imagination.” (Jazznu)

“We have to make room for other people.
It’s a wheel. You get on. You go to the end.
And then someone else has the same opportunity to go to the end.”
– Vivian Maier, nanny & photographer
Maier spent her life making photographs alongside her work as a nanny, particularly on the streets of Chicago and New York, producing hundreds of thousands of stunning photographs, that she … stored in boxes. And that brought her worldwide fame only posthumously, after they were discovered at auction.
