Confluence by Brett Hansen
On his debut album Confluence, guitarist Brett Hansen and his
band weave their way through twelve original compositions,
traversing folk inspired melodies, sprawling ambience, gentle
ballads, and rock inspired epics. The album was recorded by
multiple Juno winning engineer/producer Paul Johnston and co-
produced by Edmonton based singer/songwriter Mallory
Chipman. Confluence is tender but fierce, complex but intuitive,
and relatable but fresh. It showcases Hansen’s focus on lyricism in
both writing and performance while showcasing traits of modern
jazz/improvised music with contemporary production techniques.
