Paul Peuker is a young German celestial storm in contemporary music. (...) His compositions are modern, structured but leave plenty of room for real improvisation. They are often pieces with a solid foundation, but with beautiful sounding harmonies. (...) For those who want to hear what the improvising musical vanguard of Berlin is doing, the CD Influx by Peuker8 gives a nice insight.
