The piece blends intimate realism and gentle absurdity, probing helplessness, friendship and the unexpected discoveries that arise when pursuit alters the seeker.

Her jazz is rooted in tradition yet resolutely contemporary. Singer-composer Lea Maria Fries explores the shifting territories of modern jazz through improvisation, vocal research and experimental influences, shaping sensitive, adventurous music that pushes genre boundaries.
