The unusual setting of the ‘punky’ horn trio Going Down and their use of various electronic effects produces a unique sound. Hi-fi goes hand in hand with lo-fi, acoustic instruments with electronics, composition with improvisation and lyrics with music. The results are as energetic as they are exceptional. ‘Going Down is a cheerful bizarre experiment that is not afraid to take a look under the surface of saxophone tradition’ (NRC Handelsblad).
