Norman Minua knows how to blend different spices of music without leaving a bitter taste in your mouth. The gentleness of layering all the different facets into each other is superb. I hope there will be a lot more of Minua in the future. Favorite track: In Passing.

Olga Kivius This is a lovely album of the young German-Icelandic trio, which consists of bass-clarinet and 2 guitars. The music is extremely melodic and lyrical, sometimes they use experimental cosmic ambient sound, but mainly this music is determened as modern-creative chamber jazz with classical and folklore influences. Very promising debut! Favorite track: Sequence.

Christopher Moklebust Minua composes some incredible duel guitar texture work set to the voice of a one of my most favorite instruments - the bass clarinet. In Passing provides its listeners with melodic longing and a somber and sentimental experience. Favorite track: In Passing.

about

Minua Basel, Switzerland

Minua's music presents itself in constant alteration. Circling around drones and more song-based structures, their style defies genre boundaries with a subtle blend of acoustic and electronic textures.

Great set of repetitive but never dull compositions for (mainly) different clarinets with nods to minimalists Riley and Reich but most of all reminding me of John Surmans 'Withholding Pattern'. polinos

This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work! Little James
