With "Convergence", his second solo album, Swedish-born bassist Björn Meyer continues to develop the musical concept he established on "Provenance" (2017). He uses the technical potential of the bass guitar to create striking timbres and richly structured textures, while remaining extremely sensitive to the acoustic space in which his sounds emerge and blossom.
This time the setting has shifted to the Bavaria Music Studios in Munich, a place long associated with film music, and Meyer's atmospheric explorations evoke images in the mind. In parallel with his technical innovations, he has also grown as a melodist, and much of "Convergence" carries a yearning, songlike quality. In short, the album seems self-contained, more than just a document of instrumental mastery. And listeners who appreciate Björn Meyer's contributions to ECM recordings with Anouar Brahem (The Astounding Eyes of Rita, Souvenance) and Nik Bärtsch (Stoa, Holon, Llyria) will find this solo album an enriching experience.
