Novo Navigatio (New Journey) is the Abstractions' third release of innovative and cutting soundscapes. A walk through minimalist instrumentals to pointed, political poetry. Noise to a collective chaos of 'vision music' that consists of a colorful orchestration of vocals, saxophones, guitars, percussion, strings, electronics and emotion. The Abstractions are all about serious musicianship and not. It is an open-hearted invitation and provocation.
