Playful musical tribute to the fauna of the world

On the hunt and on guard - leaping and hibernating - in a pack and on their own - on the prowl and in hiding. The sound of Fauna 5 is at once simple and complicated, unpretentious, and neatly composed.

Fauna 5 is drummer and composer Andreas Skamby's project, which first saw the light of day at Aarhus Jazz Festival 2018.

The music is based on wildlife and the experiences and observations that have aroused enthusiasm, amazement, and curiosity in Andreas Skamby. This includes the similarities he sees in the behavior of animals and man.

By and large, the music is a tribute to the fauna of the world and reflects in the playful approach to the band's interactions.

The band counts four more musicians with whom Andreas Skamby performs in other constellations – including I Think You's Awesome, Alex Jønsson Trio, and Bagland (NOMAD).

Fauna 5 will release its debut album in 2021.

The music is far from run of the mill, which goes for the song Fauna as well. Organ in the rainforest, winds in the treetops, and keyboards as a flying sound barrier. The style is hard to describe, but genreless, outside of genre, or downright genre-free comes to mind. All forms of expression are in play. Just not the usual ones.
