At daybreak, as sunlight travels through the atmosphere and begins to reach Earths surface, daylight gradually emerges. This marks the transition from night to the beginning of a brand-new day. As the temperature risesespecially after clear, calm nightsrelative humidity decreases, and mist, formed of tiny suspended droplets, begins to evaporate. Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating an interplay of temperature, humidity and sunlight that gives way to a soft, diffuse glow. The sea breeze slowly clears the morning mist, setting life in motion once again as the world wakes up. Daybreak is Sven Wunders fifth full-length album, seamlessly continuing the progression of his musical oeuvre. It takes the listener on a vivid maritime expedition, beginning the moment the first rays of light break the darkness of the night and embarking on a lush journey through the early hours of the day and far beyond, until the light slowly fades and night falls once again. True to Wunders now distinctive artistry, Daybreak is marked by elaborately crafted compositions and elegant pop-jazz arrangements for flute, percussion, brass and stringssupported by a decisive rhythm section, all of which add depth and build on his body of work, continuing to unfold his creative path.
