BEAM is an ensemble of highly qualified Dutch musicians lead by Martin Fondse, that chooses a composer, who's also a player, to work with on projects . The band worked previously with singer/songwriter Daniel Johnston, Ex Police drummer Steward Copeland & Pop band Efterklang before they enrolled this challenging improvisation project with master trumpeter Markus Stockhausen. Markus's superiority in terms of instrument facility equals his emphatic capability to make music from the deepest of his soul. This time he has taken the ensemble through meditation to an extreme high level of intuitive music. Recorded live during the contemporary music festival November Music in 2011.
