The concerts of the past three years were the driving force behind the diary-like compositions, wich are intended to highlight the personalities of all musicians involved – as well as their improvisation styles.
In the eight musical poems on the resulting album, the compositions and solos are densely interwoven. The moods are filigree, and apart from striking rhythmic currents, there are ethereal parts that seem to float in slow motion. These aesthetics focus on the contrast between agitation and submersion – and go for the churning stranger in the music.

On "Scent Of Jungle" Martin Dahanukar is performing with his most recent quartet. The live concerts of this group became the kick-off for diary-like compostions that emphasize each of the personalities within the ensemble and highlight their styles of improvisation. Both the 'teamwork touch' and the solos are tighty intertwined on the delicately woven 8 tracks presented here. Apart from strikingly rhythmic undercurrents, listeners will discover sonic cells that float as if in slow motion, an aesthetic that thrives on the contrast between agitation and deep absorbtion.
