Never Is AlwayS, debut solo album on ti-Records
GīW is the solo project of trumpeter & performer Pablo Gīw from Cologne, Germany. Based on experimental trumpet playing with extended playing techniques, he works with elements from various genres, combining minimalist structures with noise & neo soul. With his instrument he creates dense sound walls and hissing beats made of air sounding to his vocals and spoken word lyrics. Having electronic music in mind but creating it by mostly acoustic means, GĪW redefines his role as a trumpet player and uses his instrument as sound generator for complex harmonic layers, a drum machine or as a filter for his voice. The solo album „Never Is Always“ was released in 2017 on his label ti-Records.
