Grey Paris pulls you into an acoustic reverie of high-powered drums, bass, piano and electronic-cinematic effects.

The Berlin trio Grey Paris presents songs, alive with intricate rhythmic elements, and an understated move-like ambiance. Their compositions carry the lister with undulating ideas through acoustic soundscapes as if in a synaesthetic experience.

“In the music of the Berlin-based trio Grey Paris, classical music instruments meet electronic music and together they create a minimalistic almost film-like atmosphere. The connection of electronic features and emotional piano compositions gives birth to various sound scapes spiced with changing dance rhythms, spherical sounds and electronic experiments.”
– Flora Theatre Festival, CZ –

The Trio, consisting of piano, bass, drums, and a sophisticated system of live electronics, has collaborated since 2016 and has released three albums and several singles. They have played numerous concerts and festivals locally and internationally (including Smida Jazz Festival (RO), 19th Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival (awarded Best Newcomer Jazzband 2019), Jazz in the Park Competition Romania (Best Club Band Award), Piano Day (DE), Kantine am Berghain, B-flat, and B’jazz Burghausen, to name a few).

“They characterize their music as “cinematic electroacoustic jazz” and the truth is that the sound landscapes they make through enchanting, minimal and trance echoryhtms are creating images so powerful that they are one of the most unique modern jazz groups.”
– Athens Technopolis Festival, Greece –

After the second album "Medea" and the subsequent tour in 2019, Gray Paris used the 2020/21 break to intensively develop and write new pieces. This resulted in the current release "Lee Waves" with three long compositions and a spontaneously recorded 10-minute live session that shows the more electronic side of the band.
