Wanting Machine II will be presented this evening, almost exactly three years after Wanting Machine's debut in February 2022. Johannes Schweiger described it as follows: "And there it was, the explicitly unique guitar voice with all its electronically enriched sound qualities. Rom finds a differentiated richness in it. Without exception, it is rich in content. How surprising his playing was, with its constant legato/staccato contrasts, reductionist playfulness, flexible sustain, unorthodox chord breakdowns seeking exuberance in small pockets of sound, and experimental harmonies. All of this springs from a robust, rock-affine approach. Occasionally also away from rhythmic constraints. Rom never forgets to draw in the breathing spaces. From there, it often went improvisationally (everyone skillfully) into concentrated interactions. (...) Peter Rom's individual temperament and creativity understand how to consolidate defined rules of jazz and rock with different interpretations and contexts in an elementary topicality. Sensitive deconstruction and economical presentation spread a newly found beauty of filigree intensity in his music."
