Started off as a vague fantasy in his mind, Modest Midget is the crossing point between different styles of music which normally would collide with each other. He gathered songs that combined different ethnic styles with no pretension of making world-music, along with Rock and Classical influences. The music is often both elaborated with sophistication and intuitively simple. The first album was recorded with the help of different artists from different musical worlds, whether coming from the Contemporary Classical corners or Jazz. Among the participants were people like violinists Bas Wiegers and Vera van der Bie, clarinetist Ilse Eijsink & Jazz violist Oene van Geel. |
