“The more new discoveries you make, the more you go back to the beginning,” observes pianist Vincent Meissner. The music on his third album, ‘Eigengrau’, is characterized by an inward gaze, by his reflections on experiences and encounters that have been meaningful to him. Together with his working trio, Josef Zeimetz on bass and Henri Reichmann on drums, Vincent Meissner has developed his own language, drawing inspiration from artists such as The Bad Plus, Esbjörn Svensson, Vijay Iyer – and his mentor, Michael Wollny.
“The word ‘Eigengrau’ describes a state of darkness behind closed eyes,” Meissner explains. “But once you rub your eyes, you see patterns. Everyone sees something different: structures, objects, perhaps nothing at all… and that’s what our music is like – creating a distinct image for every listener.”
