Jonas Bonnetta and Stefan Christoff - All in the Dawn
All in the Dawn is a work by two artists that have explored a wide variety of sounds and collaborations across the world.
Since their first encounter, Jonas and Stefan started exchanging musical ideas and having conversations about their respective creative practices. The key to this album is hearing the openness that drives the collaboration. There is a certainty to the tones that are present, mixed with a careful tonality of seeking that creates a sense of active reflection.
Bonnetta and Christoff hold space for artistic practices that are inherently informed by a belief in community spirit as a guiding beacon for both cultural creativity and social justice.
