Even though a long thought process precedes the creation of his compositions, the recordings for a new album in the studio ultimately emerge from very intuitive music-making. The pieces that emerge in this way are often described by listeners and critics as music for the film in one's own head cinema. The release of the new album "Open Waters" was no different. "I'm happy when people interpret the title and the effect of my music that way," the Swedish jazz pianist feels right. "I actually want to pull them emotionally to the open sea, to this situation where you have to decide in which direction you want to swim." With Morten Ramsbøl (bass) and Rasmus Kihlberg (drums), Karlzon knows he has two comrades-in-arms at his side who are only too happy to be in the same boat, braving the elemental force of the elements. With every key stroke he pulls his audience closer to the sea, suddenly grabs them and pulls them deeper and deeper into it. It sounds fascinating and dangerous at the same time. The band leader speaks of a "crazy energy". Even though he sees himself as an "alternative musician", he is still a jazz musician, but one who operates in the here and now. As a modern man for modern men with a history and a present. His music is meant to reflect just that, including his fascination with the possibilities offered by new technologies.
