Forged in the crucible of the Swiss Alps, Icelandic volcanism and the
urban sprawl of Berlin, MONOGLOT defy easy categorisation. Their sound,
a shifting tapestry of textures, ebbs and flows, contracting and
expanding with an organic pulse. Subtle sequences blossom into dynamic
structures, forging deep connections that resonate on a visceral level.
Jazz, post-rock, ambient and minimal music intertwine to create sonic
landscapes of breathtaking richness.
Since 2014, MONOGLOT have made their mark with over 100 live
performances and four critically acclaimed albums. They've toured across
Europe throughout Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, France and
Belgium and journeyed to Japan in 2022. Their discography has been
hailed as a "post-jazz/prog masterpiece" (The Math Rock Times) and
praised for its "daring, free-spirited and fresh" approach (Jazz Thing).
"Make" (2020) was hailed as "endlessly rewarding" (Artnoir) and
"complex, but excitingly interesting and always unexpected" (Jazzquad).
"Resonance" (2021), a collaboration with Grammy-winning engineer
Antonio Pulli at the renowned Funkhaus Studio 3, saw MONOGLOT
explore the essence of vibration, rhythm, harmony, melody, timbre and
intonation, prompting Wolf Kampmann to declare: "
’Resonance’ is more than an album. It’s a mirror to the soul, a step towards self-awareness
and ultimately a sound that without providing specific directions hints
towards the origin of all sonance
".
Now MONOGLOT are preparing to unveil their fifth opus, a return to their
roots where the core elements of alternative jazz, rock and minimal
music converge. Expect a sonic alchemy, a distillation of their journey so
far, that promises to be both familiar and utterly transformative.
