‘Mindscapes combines jazz aesthetics with melodies and improvisations in a surprising yet utterly convincing way, while maintaining their sonic essence. The expression and energy of the music appear unified by a shared idea, logical and entirely subordinate to the artistic intent. Amina Bouroyen, Robin Gadermaier, and Robert Unterköfler display masterful musicianship. A wonderful debut – we are thrilled!’
—Jacek Brun, jazzfun-de.

‘A trio that explores highly experimental approaches to jazz, far removed from worn-out conventions. This makes Mindscapes a unique listening experience,
rich in exquisite sound and vocals.
—CONCERTO Magazin (5.2.2025)

‘The three "talk" to each other, listen closely, respond and interact, all within a deeply relaxed atmosphere. Each song is its own little story full of imagination, and all of them are worth listening to. It's dreamlike music that defies classical genre categories. Mystically beautiful.

This is one of the most exciting albums of the last five years.’

– Claus Volke

‘The trio skillfully alternates their instrumental lineup, creating a wide spectrum of sounds through intimate interplay. They let the music unfold in a deeply relaxed manner, finely sculpted with unexpected twists. Bouroyen, with her warm and authentic voice, expresses graceful, fragile, and profound emotions, while the Nordic-inspired Unterköfler crafts delicate, pastel-toned soundscapes with great melodic fluidity. Gadermaier contributes to a creatively inspiring synergy and sonic versatility through his use of the electric bass and the foot organ.’
