Jasper Hoiby - Planet B

Planet B is the new project and title of the first of four albums that sees Danish composer and bassist open up big questions for everyone. Jasper H�iby is shaping adventurous new music to prise open the narrow framework of political debate.Jasper H�iby released his new solo project and album in March 2020 with a monumental ambition, vision and message and kick started the release of an arc of four albums over five years. Each album focuses on four global topics of vital importance � Humanity, Climate Change, Artificial Intelligence and Monetary Reform. Planet B, the project title and title of the first album, is a mix of deep, evocative, thought-provoking voice samples, loops, held together with the open, majestic interplay of three deeply intuitive and creative musicians � Jasper H�iby, saxophonist Josh Arcoleo & drummer Marc Michel.Planet B is shaped by a deeply personal plea that will be recognised by fans of H�iby�s powerful writing for Phronesis and Fellow Creatures. Ecology and justice have long been in his thinking and his music. Planet B pulls this into the open with real conviction: �At this point in time its gotta be about more than making music for music�s sake. Planet B is a conversation about who we are as a people today, how we exist in relation to this earth and to each other, and where we want to go from here. Let us be inspired together and explore what a reimagining of this planet can be.�
