DescriptionOdisea is an odyssey, a voyage to distant shores; it is also an exploration inward. Andreas Arnold's third album, Odisea, charts the guitarists decade-long journey from jazz to flamenco and back, a full circle where he has found not only his own unique style of flamenco fusion and intersections — but also a kind of musical origin. "I think this album is sort of a homecoming for me," Arnold said. "Back to a looser and improvised approach, while incorporating many things that I've learned during my travels across the vast seas of flamenco. Back to jazz elements, even back to classical elements that are rooted in my childhood."
Like any epic, the protagonist arrives where he started, yet changed and transformed. While his last album, Ojos Cerrados, released in 2016 was a tightly composed and arranged Flamenco album, a display of Arnold's dexterity as both an instrumentalist and composer, Odisea is a hymn to freedom, spontaneity and adventurous spirit. "Arnold brings a fluidity and openness to the form that no doubt derives from his jazz background. He leads with assuredness and an organic sense of rhythm, but also creates ample breathing space in his pieces." Songlines, UK "In the increasingly strong world of flamenco fusion the guitarist Andreas Arnold has a very personal, outstanding sound" - Flamenco y mas (Spain) "Petros Klampanis is a musician who has always spoken from the heart."
