Why do we leave our familiar spaces? Why do we open ourselves up, risk

vulnerability - and what do we gain when we do? Between Us is an album about

what lies between people: Trust and mistrust, intimacy and fear, arguments

and the struggle to find a common sound. Whoever gets involved with this music

not only encounter the stories of two composers, but perhaps also themselves.

themselves.

What remains when the music has faded away? Perhaps it is a feeling that lingers for a long time

after a conversation that asks more questions than it answers. Between

Us is a musical mosaic of such conversations.

The music asks: What lies between us? What separates us - and what connects us?

At the center is the piano, augmented by Gabriele Kienast's violin and Felicitas Conrad's cello.

Jonas Hain, born in Munich, moved early on between electronic beats and classical melancholy.

classical melancholy. His path led him from the clubs to the intimate sound world of the piano

piano, where he created fragile music with "Solopiano" and "Weißes Rauschen", which is

Chopin and Satie as well as the silence between the notes.

Robert Gromotka, who lives in Berlin, comes from a different musical world:

Transverse flute, double bass, bands, film music. His compositions are reduced, melodic,

of failure. This encounter gives rise to music that is not characterized by competition,

but is characterized by trust.

Perhaps the greatest promise of this album is that it not only tells the stories of its

of its creators, but that it holds up a mirror to the listener. After the

concert at the Colosseum in Berlin, visitors reported that they had tears in their eyes

eyes - not because the music was sad, but because it touched something that has

the experience of really meeting another person through sound.

In the end, the hope remains that something of this openness, this vulnerability, will be taken home.

taken home with us. Because perhaps what lies between us is ultimately not a distance at all

distance - but the space in which we really meet.
