May 2011: In Flagranti – the new album

The big city night – in 12 episodes.
Urban beats, vast soundscapes and driving grooves. With their third album, Joachim Krohn and Marc Bornée - aka KonFerenz- highlight the next stage of their artistic path. NuJazz and Electronica, timeless and international, cool and passionate.
The duo counts on creative support again this time. As on the previous two albums Chinaza provides vocal euphony with inspired melodies. The Nigerian-born singer living in Berlin adds beguiling colors and shades to the compositions and glamourizes them with her velvety timbre.
Liza da Costa, the Portuguese voice of “Hotel Bossa Nova”, as well as the guitarists Jens "Jay Tee" Tausch and Andreas Twele, perform with KonFerenz for the first time on this album. These brilliant musicians blend naturally into the sound of KonFerenz and set fresh accents.
The music of KonFerenz on this album combines complex harmonies with delicate rhythmic patterns and shimmering sounds like the lights of the metropolis reflecting on wet asphalt. Before you know it, you're in between, as never before: In Flagranti.


The musicians live in different parts of Germany (Berlin, Kassel, Munich) and cooperate in other projects as well.
Conspiratively, KonFerenz cooperates with different guests. Vocalists, drummers and guitarists bring new influences to the project, bringing immense freshness to the sound-experience.
