Biography

Each track conjures an idyllic day, a dreamy journey through nature, as though Monet’s pastels have come to life. Concerns float away while basking in this gorgeous hour of Koch’s signature music. Describing his recording process for Day of Life, Koch said, “Flooded with good memories, I became more in the composing of it.” You can become more in the listening.
The classically trained artist composes pieces of outstanding formal maturity and with an astonishing musical finesse. Koch himself calls his compositions “songs without lyrics” and indeed they are delicately crafted and clearly show their creator’s sense of form. His arrangements are always marked by a tasteful balance of natural and synthesized sounds. The exquisite flute playing of his wife, Christiane Böhm, has over the years become a trademark feature in his sound. His music has always a strong and memorable melody, subtly played on his main instrument the piano, plus flute, keyboards, guitar and bass, enriched with sensitive percussion. His tunes are qualified to calm, make life more pleasant and allow your soul to take a deep breath.
