Inspired by Meister Eckhart, who described the "now" (German: Nun) in the mystical sense as a moment in which the past and future merge together, the ensemble gave itself its name nu:n. On this release, the three musicians delve into the earliest surviving sources of the music, and give it a new sonic guise of our time. From various concerts, we hear wonderful recordings of secular and sacred hymns, eloquent and sensitive texts, and enchanting melodies informed by profound and virtuoso improvisation. ""The Weimar guitarist Falk Zenker and the Berlin saxophonist Gert Anklam have long been regarded as an insider tip in the Middle Ages scene. Because they first dig up the roots of Western music as sensitively as imaginatively and then gently transplant them into the present. "" (Torsten Preuss).
