With swinging grooves and punk bass lines, music is created that moves in the borderland between jazz and pop. Her first solo record "ORIGO" was released on the Flora and Fauna label in May 2022. The music is instrumental, thoughtful and hopeful and is best described as "the night bus on the way home".
When Losing A Dream To Reality is Hannes Bennich’s debut album with music inspired by both his and others dreams.
