With their neww album Tolstoy, Too Noisy Fish, the trio of Peter Vandenberghe(piano, compositions), Kristof Roseeuw (double bass), and Teun Verbruggen (drums), opens a new chapter full of freedom and adventure. The moves effortlessly between composition and improvisation, between order and chaos, between what is planned and what emerges in the moment.
Too Noisy Fish first made its mark in the Belgian jazz landscape in 2011, when the rhythm section of the Flat Earth Society Orchestra decided to start pushing boundaries as a trio too. They created four albums, including ‘Too Many Fish: 10 Years Too Noisy Fish’, a record celebrating the ten year anniversary of the trio by inviting musician and artist friends to join them in the studio and on stage. With their upcoming album, they are once again establishing themselves as a singular trio.
The band shows how music can be at once profound and light, sharp and open-hearted, fully in line with the seeming contradictions that are rife in Tolstoy’s work. Each piece is a journey, unpredictable, honest, and full of twists, with freedom and adventure as the compass, and no fixed destination. The compositions breathe literature: melodies unfold like sentences, rhythms collide like characters, harmonies pose questions rather than giving answers.
Too Noisy Fish remains true to its distinctive sound world: incisive, playful, unsettling, yet always imbued with deep human warmth. On Tolstoy, the music moves freely through space, silence, humor, and melancholy.
An album about the lust for life, choices, and the endless search for meaning; in sound, in silence, in freedom.
Mit ihrem neuen Album Tolstoy schlagen Too Noisy Fish – das Trio aus Peter Vandenberghe (Klavier, Kompositionen), Kristof Roseeuw (Kontrabass) und Teun Verbruggen (Schlagzeug) – ein neues Kapitel voller Freiheit und Abenteuer auf. Die Musik bewegt sich mühelos zwischen Komposition und Improvisation, zwischen Ordnung und Chaos, zwischen dem Geplanten und dem, was im Augenblick entsteht.
Too Noisy Fish machten erstmals 2011 in der belgischen Jazzlandschaft auf sich aufmerksam, als die Rhythmusgruppe des Flat Earth Society Orchestra beschloss, auch als Trio musikalische Grenzen auszuloten. Es entstanden vier Alben, darunter Too Many Fish: 10 Years Too Noisy Fish – eine Veröffentlichung zum zehnjährigen Bestehen des Trios, für die befreundete Musikerinnen, Musiker und Kunstschaffende ins Studio und auf die Bühne eingeladen wurden. Mit ihrem kommenden Album profilieren sie sich erneut als einzigartiges Trio.
Die Band zeigt, wie Musik zugleich tiefgründig und leicht, scharfkantig und warmherzig sein kann – ganz im Einklang mit den scheinbaren Widersprüchen, die Tolstois Werk durchziehen. Jedes Stück ist eine Reise: unvorhersehbar, ehrlich und voller Wendungen, mit Freiheit und Abenteuer als Kompass und ohne festgelegtes Ziel. Die Kompositionen atmen Literatur: Melodien entfalten sich wie Sätze, Rhythmen prallen aufeinander wie Figuren, Harmonien stellen Fragen, anstatt Antworten zu geben.
Too Noisy Fish bleiben ihrer unverwechselbaren Klangwelt treu: prägnant, verspielt, beunruhigend und zugleich stets von tiefer menschlicher Wärme durchdrungen. Auf Tolstoy bewegt sich die Musik frei durch Raum, Stille, Humor und Melancholie.
Ein Album über Lebenslust, Entscheidungen und die endlose Suche nach Sinn – im Klang, in der Stille, in der Freiheit.
