Roomtone use to be an occasional formation. Two classically trained guitarists, Jeroen Kimman and Wiek Heimans, commissioned by the Brabant Muzieklab, joined the battle against the electronics of Sandor Caron, backed up by bassist Micha Kool and drummer Panc Daalder. Subsequently there was an album, Gloom in Major, which received favourable reviews. “This is fascinating music, averse to being pigeonholed as rock, jazz or classical”, NRC Handelsblad stated. Now it seems like Roomtone is going to be a real band. Jazz, dub, fusion; there’s a lot going on, but never too much and absolutely nothing leads to boredom while listening to this exciting new quintet.
