A new band to me, suggested by a member of the Roon forum (who I think is also here?) - really classy funk/jazz from a German band, sadly now defunct I think. The usual superb ACT recording quality.
Roon/Qobuz suggested this new release to me. First listen, and I'm really enjoying it. From the artist's name I was expecting something resembling a classical string quartet, but that's not a good description. It's an interesting mixture of ambient sounds and minimalist music with influences from lots of different musical genres including, but by no means limited to, the above-mentioned jazz. Great late-night listening, and a lovely recording too.
I'll be on the look-out for more.

SONAR with David Torn "Vortex"
The genre labels Roon has given this don't make much sense to me...it's more like jazz. Any SONAR fans will know what to expect, but David Torn adds a nice edge.
