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)

“Artists’ visions of another artist, adding sublimity to beauty… an ensemble of outstanding musicians… Indispensable.” (Paris Move)

“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.
