About the album

“Polyphony, contrast, expression” — these timeless Baroque qualities find new life in Klara Cloud’s latest work with The Vultures. This album unfolds as a deeply human journey through emotion, memory, and rebirth — a musical tale spanning from the first spark of life to the quiet afterglow of death.

Each track opens a new chapter of introspection and feeling. The serene melancholy of Peony blossoms beside the flowing energy of Waterfalls. Se Tu Me Dimentichi brings Pablo Neruda’s poetry to life, while Funeral transforms loss into light — a meditation on the kind of silence that already knows the way forward. At its heart shines Stephanie — a symbol of endurance and wonder — framed in a soundscape as vivid and intricate as a Baroque painting.

With contributions from an ensemble of masterful musicians — Mateusz Smoczyński (violin), Mateusz Gawęda (piano), Adam Tadel (double bass), Piotr Budniak (drums), and guest violinist Bartosz Dworak — Cloud’s vision achieves both intimacy and grandeur.

Produced by Klara Cloud and recorded in Poland’s Sound & Wave Studio, this record captures the essence of transformation: fragile yet fearless, lyrical yet raw.

Dedicated to her children, Stefania and Julian, the album stands as both a personal diary and a universal reflection — an echo of beauty born out of silence.

„Polyphonie, Kontrast, Ausdruck“ – diese zeitlosen barocken Qualitäten erhalten in Klara Clouds neuestem Werk mit The Vultures neues Leben. Das Album entfaltet sich als zutiefst menschliche Reise durch Emotion, Erinnerung und Wiedergeburt – ein musikalisches Märchen, das vom ersten Funken des Lebens bis zum leisen Nachglühen des Todes reicht.

Jeder Track eröffnet ein neues Kapitel der Innenschau und des Fühlens. Die stille Melancholie von Peony entfaltet sich neben der fließenden Energie von Waterfalls. Se Tu Me Dimentichi erweckt Pablo Nerudas Poesie zum Leben, während Funeral Verlust in Licht verwandelt – eine Meditation über jene Art von Stille, die den Weg bereits kennt. Im Zentrum erstrahlt Stephanie – ein Symbol für Ausdauer und Staunen – eingebettet in eine Klangwelt, so lebendig und detailreich wie ein barockes Gemälde.

Mit Beiträgen eines meisterhaften Ensembles – Mateusz Smoczyński (Violine), Mateusz Gawęda (Klavier), Adam Tadel (Kontrabass), Piotr Budniak (Schlagzeug) und Gastviolinist Bartosz Dworak – gewinnt Clouds Vision gleichermaßen an Intimität und Größe.

Produziert von Klara Cloud und aufgenommen im polnischen Sound & Wave Studio fängt dieses Album das Wesen der Verwandlung ein: zerbrechlich und zugleich furchtlos, lyrisch und zugleich roh.

Ihren Kindern Stefania und Julian gewidmet, steht das Album sowohl als persönliches Tagebuch wie auch als universelle Reflexion – ein Echo der Schönheit, geboren aus der Stille.

Klara Cloud

The band [Klara Cloud & the Vultures] is an acoustic quintet operating within jazz, free improvisation, and contemporary music. The instrumental lineup—vocals, jazz violin, double bass, drums, and piano—creates a unique sonic palette where tradition meets experimentation. Their music is a dialogue between structure and freedom. The delicacy of the violin and voice intertwines with the energetic expression of the percussion, the deep pulse of the double bass, and the harmonic space of the piano. The band's compositions balance between form and free improvisation—each concert is an open field for creative risk and spontaneous empathy. It's not just jazz—it's a living, organic form of communication, where every sound has meaning, and silence can be as eloquent as the most intense...
