When you think of Tonik it’s at first more of a feeling than an obvious statement. A sound that is purposefully distinct yet wide open to personal interpretation. Having initially come from an urge to play music as a fun jam or just an opportunity to get lost in a texture of sound, Jann Krynauw and Ronan Skillen began this collaboration for their personal ‘feel good’ benefit. In a sense you could say a Tonik session was there to facilitate a way of disengaging the mind and experiencing the privilege of entering the music world, mostly as a revitalization or remedy to balance against the craziness of the usual. Naturally good medicine attracts good listeners and the demand for a permanent documentation of Tonik became evident. This album, ‘Visitors Book’ was recorded late in 2007 with the intention of bringing a taste of this Tonik out into the world.
Listening to music in an isolated space is always a transporting experience. Details and frequencies that are often lost in conventional set ups can be more easily experienced at close range. TONIK make use of a concept for live performances which enables an entire audience to become part of the music in just this way. By introducing headphones for each individual audience member with personal volume control a concert by TONIK is a revolutionary concept. It provides a detailed and very personal atmosphere. However because of the very ‘live’ environment and highly detailed microphone transmission one is actually more part of the whole event than ever before. People are literally in control of their own sound. If you like it loud you can turn up your volume and down for more sensitive listeners.
We'd like to dedicate this album to the late Esbjorn Svensson and E.S.T. A band that has been a huge inspiration and influenced many of our compositions.
