Bonobo doesn't like nostalgia - he lives in the present moment. Therefore, he decided to make a hopeful album that also has room for sadness and the beginning of a new life.
Fragments are the sound of inner struggle and isolation, both from a personal and a wider perspective. This is the sound we will all come together with after the pandemic. It's a reminder of how hope is born out of sadness and loneliness.
His latest full-length "Fragments" was completed during the pandemic and is the most emotional and intense album Bonobo has made to date. While previous albums were inspired by people and travel, this particular album was born from being alone during the pandemic. First of all, the album consisted only of tiny fragments and ideas, which later led to the fusion of the burst of creativity of the album. All of America's nature, especially Death Valley, was the greatest impetus for the creation of a new creation.
His live concert is not just an electronic concert. Over the course of two hours, he goes on an adventure with a powerful band consisting of trombones, strings, synthesizers and several other instruments that give the music even more life. He is a wonderful example of how an artist is able to grow and develop - starting first with minimalist music, adding more and more elements with each album that make a pat on the side.
Bonobo's electronic music is loved even by those who don't usually listen to this type of music. This is the music with which you fall in love, find hope and get along with other people.
