Tristan Horx

Sir Georg Solti leads the Wiener Philharmoniker in an epic musical journey through Wagner's most monumental opera, Tristan und Isolde.

"Dream Variations" is the third full length album of solo piano compositions from Cincinnati based Composer, Pianist, and Producer Tristan Eckerson. Tristan describes the inspiration for this latest album as coming from a combination of his current major influences, namely: Ryuichi Sakamoto, Beethoven, Sigur Ros and Tigran Hamasyan. Tristan says about his goals for the album: "I wanted to make an album that was dynamic and exciting, but also ethereal, ambient, relaxing, and whimsical. I wanted to focus on strong songwriting and melodies, but also the overall tone and atmosphere of the album itself."

At Tristan, jazz, fusion and soul melt together effortlessly. A band that can compete internationally with big names from these genres. It is high time that a larger audience became acquainted with this musical gem, which for once does not come from England or the United States but "just" from the Netherlands. The music of Tristan can best be described as 'feel-good vintage Acid Jazz music' with the energy, vibe and sound of today, performed by some of the best pop / jazz musicians from Europe. Tristan is reminiscent of bands such as Tower of Power, Snarky Puppy and classical acid jazz acts such as Incognito and the Brand New Heavies. For all of them it is all about the '' high-energy grooves ''.
