Maraton

Join a meditative journey through unknown landscapes from rainforest wilderness to mountain highlands, when you listen to Maraton's debut-album. This 40 min cinematic ambient album has been a long trip in itself for the 4 musicians, both as a group and individually. They have created this music through improvised marathon-concerts, curated as different challenges from playing 9 hours straight with no breaks, to playing 4 times 1 hour in 1 day.

The sound of the album draws on inspiration from many different genres, artist and moods, and you wouldn’t necessarily think of free improvised music on first listen, although this is exactly the method for how the album was created. Instead you could call it poetic ambient music in between acoustic soundscapes and synthetic manipulation. The band consists of four young strong voices from the Danish music scene with very different backgrounds ranging from rock and hip hop to experimental free jazz. They created this band to explore new things in and outside themselves and together as a group.
