At daybreak, as sunlight travels through the atmosphere and begins to
reach Earth’s surface, daylight gradually emerges. This marks the
transition from night to the beginning of a brand-new day. As the
temperature rises—especially after clear, calm nights—relative humidity
decreases, and mist, formed of tiny suspended droplets, begins to
evaporate. Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating an interplay of
temperature, humidity and sunlight that gives way to a soft, diffuse
glow. The sea breeze slowly clears the morning mist, setting life in
motion once again as the world wakes up.
‘Daybreak’ is Sven Wunder’s fifth full-length album, seamlessly
continuing the progression of his musical oeuvre. It takes the listener
on a vivid maritime expedition, beginning the moment the first rays of
light break the darkness of the night and embarking on a lush journey
through the early hours of the day and far beyond, until the light
slowly fades and night falls once again. True to Wunder’s
now-distinctive artistry, ‘Daybreak’ is marked by elaborately crafted
compositions and elegant pop-jazz arrangements for flute, percussion,
brass and strings—supported by a decisive rhythm section, all of which
add depth and build on his body of work, continuing to unfold his
creative path.
