The term solastalgia describes the deep inner pain that we feel when we realize that our environment is irreversibly changing due to human influence. Together with his band BLOSSOM, trumpeter Max Diller, who is now studying in Dresden after a stay in Jamaica for Musicians without Borders, is dedicated to this melancholy, searching feeling. And the question of what it does to us and the culture that is in the making, since we live in times of global crises and upheavals. The man at the center of a changing world? Songs with titles such as “After the Rain”, “Sun Dance” or “Wind” sensitively convey moods from experiencing nature and can awaken memories of what has been experienced. The young band in an unusual line-up with two drums, two bass clarinets, double bass and trumpet or flugelhorn manages to create a familiar melancholic mood, which will be particularly impressively experienced in the special atmosphere of the open-air stage on the grounds of the KAOS Kulturwerkstatt.
