Making Music In The Twenties Of The 21st Century
Master’s Monkeys is a musical project created and run by composer/lyricist Paul Kessler.
Established 2005, Master’s Monkeys appears as a band with changing line-ups and an exceptional big variety of different instruments.
The music is not conform to a straightforward musical genre, although it’s oftentimes Blues related. Other blended musical styles are: Rock, Folk, Hip Hop and Jazz.
The moods of the songs range from wild and aggressive, dark and haunting to heartbreaking or funny and not infrequently with a wink of the eye.
Strong musical influences are: Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Public Enemy, Jack White and Neil Young.
Beside the music itself MM seeks the closeness of visual arts and philosophy as well. The lyrics of their Blues song ‘God’s Monkeys’ set the main theme of Master’s Monkeys’ philosophical view.
In the course of this MM points out values that matter beyond and far away from politics and questions every religion in general.
Master’s Monkeys provides an artistic world for open-minded music enthusiasts who enjoy diversity off the beaten path of mainstream.
MM creates fearlessly, believing that this world only makes sense if we bring meaning into being.
The will to craft something good and to collaborate with like-minded people is what drives Master’s Monkeys.
