"Nocturnal" is an album of the small hours. As Sebastian Studnitzky himself notes, every track was composed, produced and finalised at night — for over six months he live-streamed midnight improvisation sessions to an audience of fellow night owls. The album captures those late moments on trumpet, piano and electronics: intimate, cinematic, moving between jazz, classical and electronic music. A heavy-hearted feeling touches each track, yet never quite dark enough to be melancholy — rather the gentle blend of blues and serenity most common on Sunday evenings or during creative insomnia at dawn. Studnitzky plays every instrument himself, layering sound worlds that feel at once close and vast, fragile and grand. From "Abyss" through the hypnotic "Dusk" to the quiet closing "Solitude", "Nocturnal" unfolds as one continuous nocturnal narrative — the work of an artist long at home in the grey area between the genres.

Multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Studnitzky (KY), an ECHO Jazz and Opus Klassik laureate, records his epic album KY! live with the Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra at Berlin's Meistersaal.

Sebastian Studnitzky, also known as KY, is a unique voice between jazz, classical and electronic music. A multi-instrumentalist on trumpet and piano, he creates sound worlds that are both intimate and cinematic, has performed at major festivals worldwide, received the ECHO Jazz and Opus Klassik awards, and collaborated with artists across genres from jazz innovators to electronic pioneers. In a stylistic departure from his ECHO Jazz-winning orchestral project MEMENTO, his KY work draws its aesthetic from electronic music and is performed by a scaled-down ensemble. "KY!" is his new, epic album and the name of a powerful ensemble that unites multi-instrumentalism, genre-transcendence and raw emotional depth, joined by the Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. As Studnitzky describes it, he gathered his favourite musicians and the Odesa orchestra - with whom he had just toured extensively - in Berlin's legendary Meistersaal to record the album live before an intimate audience and entirely without overdubs, in the hall that once hosted David Bowie, Depeche Mode and U2. The result is grooves of hypnotic intensity, melodies of pure beauty and a collective sound of rare strength - a radical commitment to beauty, truth and togetherness.
