Jacco Gardner’s Somnium

Dutch multi-instrumentalist and psych rocker Jacco Gardner is back with a third, completely instrumental album Somnium. Groovy guitars and catchy vocals make way for analogue synths and tons of atmosphere. The title refers to Johannes Kepler’s eponymous 1608 book, describing space travel 4 centuries before it would actually happen. Live, Somnium offers a unique experience: Jacco Gardner ditches the usual stage set-up to create an immersive listening environment: the audience surrounds the musicians, with music from four speakers that move through the space. Belgian premiere!
