super sonic jazz festival kicks off with a secret early start in our space.
Sitkamer – “What It’s Like to Be a Bat”
as a preview of Super-Sonic Jazz Festival, Finn Streuper presents his debut album What It’s Like to Be a Bat in a combined listening and viewing session. The evening features a full playback of the album, accompanied by oscilloscope-generated visuals that create an immersive atmosphere where synths, harp, saxophone, and digital textures come together in a delicate, weightless soundscape. Jameszoo will also play a DJ set.
The album takes its title and concept from the philosophical essay on consciousness by Thomas Nagel, exploring the idea that there are aspects of experience — what it is like to be something — that can never be fully understood from the outside. Rather than following a linear narrative, Streuper’s compositions unfold as environments to inhabit, where acoustic instruments and digital sounds blend into a surreal and contemplative world inspired by spiritual jazz, warm library tones, and experimental electronics.
What It’s Like to Be a Bat is released through Syrup Music and was made possible by Super-Sonic Jazz and members of the Super-Sonic Jazz Movement.
super sonic jazz festival:
the festival highlights innovative artists who move within the broad universe of jazz. Since its first edition in 2017, it has grown into a leading platform for musicians working at the intersection of jazz, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and more.
Beyond the annual festival, Super-Sonic Jazz organizes a range of events throughout the year: from intimate concerts in collaboration with Paradiso to the monthly Super-Sonic Jams at Skatecafe. The organization also releases music through its independent label, Super-Sonic. Fans can join the Super-Sonic Movement; by doing so, they directly support local talent and help the next generation of artists develop.
