The essence of the music of VONK is the unsought musical find. VONK inspires serendipity with all sorts of experiments, for example; collaborations with interesting musicians and the use of electronics. This results in intriguing, cinematic, groovy music. In VONK’s music there is a lot of improvisation, despite that it is not jazz, it is not funk, it is not film music, but a mutated variety of those styles. In their home base, the Serendipity Labs in Eindhoven, VONK has been working on their debut CD Sunlight And Grey. For this CD they collaborated intensively with featured guest musician saxophonist Edward Capel.
History: This trio started as a side project of some of the members of the band Shadow Magnetic. In December 2005, Shadow Magnetic was put to rest but 3 key members decided to continue in the form of their spin-off side project. To move from a 7 piece band to a trio has proven to be a challenge in re-arranging some of the existing material, but has also provided freedom for more experiment and collaboration.
