After Silence

Inspired by the famous essay collection by Aldous Huxley: Music at night, Andre Heuvelman collected and arranged 11 beautiful pieces of music that convey the ‘sound’ of After Silence…

Andre Heuvelman is one of the worlds leading trumpet players. On this recording he plays together with The Live! Orchestra. An orchestra consisting of some of the finest musicians available in Europe.

Silence is the most important part of my music making.
Silence is there, foregoing every first note I play.
Silence being the place for inspiration.
Silence which lets me start each piece of music as a child hearing it for the first time.
Silence keeping me from automatically following the beaten path.
– Andre Heuvelman
