Unknow Space
Unknown Space is my debut EP, which was made during the Covid pandemic: a very weird, chaotic, but also fun period, in a crazy way. In this period, I woke up early many times, my brain caught up in a storm of inspiration and creative ideas. Without hesitation, I grasped the best musical ideas and began to improvise the melodies on them. While still awakening, I abletonized all of those crazy ideas and finally I happened to make 5 tunes out of them! I shared them with my band and finally made my first EP out of it.
KETJAP is a modern jazz quintet that consists of musicians that found each other in the JazzAcademy, an educational jazz band . These 5 talented musicians all come from ‘s-Hertogenbosch, but we successfully progressed to different dutch conservatories. We play mainly tunes of ourselves, inspired by our jazz heroes such as Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau and Pat Metheny. Since our first jam session, we played some great concerts at our favorite venues: Jazz in Duketown and Rauwkost festival, ‘t Oude Pothuys in Utrecht, Paradox in Tilburg and de Toonzaal in Den Bosch, just to name a few.
