After years of probing and working towards a personal aesthetic, Natural Hunger seemed to pull together the oppositions. My creative and practical selves worked in conjunction as I assembled the band, tightened up compositions, and negotiated a high-quality studio recording on a mid-range budget. In each session, the music evolved in a new direction, with the musicians always focused on interpreting the compositional expressiveness.

As a natural response, this music has drawn a wide range of comparisons, and though I am thrilled to have been influenced, the sound is truly original. Casting a personal trajectory of hope, contemplation and lament, Natural Hunger is both unique and thought-provoking.

Since recording Natural Hunger, I have been performing in a new context, integrating electronic music with Tobias Kaemerrer on trumpet, Raphael Crawford on trombone, Jess Birch on drums and myself on keys and vocals. You can listen to rough tracks on my website, www.seanhaefeli.com. Finally, look for a new release later this year!
