percussionThe album's unique approach lies in its focus on intimacy. Planjer intentionally creates connections between his percussion and other instruments, often in duets or trios. Each track becomes a delicate dance conversation between different musical voices. The result is a prolific tapestry of sound that invites listeners to lean in and feel the warmth of these musical dialogues.
