Two strangers, two voices: Avin Ahmadi on the oud and Lorenz Widauer on the trumpet. Their paths had not crossed until Hideout Records brought them together to collaborate on the first Carte Blanche.Until We Meet Again is rooted in jazz and Persian influences and carries the intimacy of chamber music, while daring to grow from fragments and sounds. Avin Ahmadi and Lorenz Widauer let their music unfold with honesty and courage, creating stories that open up new spaces. They are supported by Valentin Duit (DRUMS), Kristian Lind (DOUBLE BASS), Albin Ormegard (GUITAR), and Mona Matbou Riahi (CLARINET).The album cover was created in collaboration with the Rotlicht Festival: analog film photography by festival director Dino Rekanović – designed by Juri Velt.
