Transparence

A beautiful album which flows with imagination and improvisation.

Album of the week. A mesmerizing soundscape of imaginative guitar chords, torrential bass flows, the light whispers of percussion and an extremely precise pianism.

A crystalline talent of four European musicians. A successful effort.

Refined. The great quality of the album lies in its diversity, while developing a coherent universe, rooted in the culture of listening and sharing, communion and poetry.

Deep. An explorational journey into a new dreamy sonic realm.

Camouflaged piano impressionism mets chiaroscuro currents of the Nordic trance, developing together that “nostalgic” character which is desire, the relief of a lack, an effect of the memory.

A musical research that suggests an inner exploration, a descent into a deeper investigation of one's own boundaries.

Album Of The Month - March 2021 European Jazz Chart

Spacious and ambient compositions with an openness for improvisations. A true band album. One to check out!

Unique worlds and sounds, suspended between avant-garde, jazz or post-free 2.0. A really nice discovery.

Album of the week. Combining abstract/improv tracks with lyrical, rock, electric & progressive jazz ones, Hitra keeps a high level of interest throughout the development of the album.

‘Transparence’ is the kind of album that sounds glorious from the start. There is something really beautiful about the playing. A group to keep an eye, and ear, on going forward.

An album of very fascinating atmospheres and cinematic sounds.

Possessing a knack for explorative sonics, Hitra speaks a language that incorporates an interesting layering that whether causes controlled friction or soars. The music is never boring or predictable.

A reflective engaging listening journey. Every piece draws an original oasis that combines compositional and improvisational tension with a suggestive synthesis of expressivity.

A mysterious and unpredictable mixture of electrical subtleties and acoustic inflorescences.

The four musicians are able to express themselves in the best way and to exalt each other, making a very solid work.

Only 33-minute long but full of nuanced stories. Enigmatic and cinematic.

Great / Coup De Cœur ❤️ An immense quality of creation. A guaranteed pleasure.

A compelling debut. Like a ticket out of isolation, Transparence transports your homebound head to the grey expanse of Northern Atlantic skies.

Their musical imagination goes far beyond our limited thinking. Muscians with flexible musicality and sensational talents.

Hitra’s music lies well beyond the realm of the ordinary, and the very concentrated brevity of Transparence gives it a potency which leaves me hungry for more.

Transparence is a poetic album, melodic, strange and at the same time fascinating for its modernism. Recommended!

Well-articulated contemporary jazz with noise and mystifism. I drift with the streams down to the depths of HITRA's sweeping sea of ​​dreams.

The endearing qualities of this music are its simplicity and frugality, the respect it gives to its silences as much as to its notes.

A rich oneiric universe. A beautiful discovery.

An intensive listening experience. An extremely impressive debut.
