"REFLECTION IN YOUR EYES" has become a deeply personal, private, and public album by and about Patrick Bebelaar. While these attributes naturally pertain to any artistic achievement, the Stuttgart-based pianist and composer places significant emphasis on reflecting emotional and musical authenticity in his music.

Especially in today's era, where public exposure and sharing of private matters have become arbitrary and trivial, particularly in the digital realm, discovering reflection, development, existential aspects, and formative experiences amid the flood of information has become a challenge. With his latest release, Bebelaar strives to distill himself entirely to the essentials. On "Reflection In Your Eyes," Patrick Bebelaar focuses on the quartet, delicately exploring various configurations of this ensemble. Whether solo, in a duo, trio, or tutti setting, whether harmonically bound or guided solely by motifs and melodies, the four musicians pass the musical dialogue between them weightlessly. Communication emerges, and deep "conversations" find space.

Through his compositions, Bebelaar paints a picture that not only reveals the current state of the artist Patrick Bebelaar but also incorporates and reflects his past experiences. This album represents a true solo endeavor for Bebelaar after a long time, where both composition and conception were uncompromisingly in the hands of the artist, emphasizing this personal statement even more. In his fellow musicians Pierre Favre, Günter Lenz, and Frank Kroll, with whom Patrick Bebelaar was in the studio for the first time in this combination, he has found true partners who support and inspire the musical and artistic ideas of this album.
