Sinners & Saints by Althea W.

Althea W. is the brainchild of outstanding Dutch composer and producer and multi instrumentalist Bram Schenk. Schenk once started his musical career as a drummer but found his musical voice when he toured as a keyboard player with a band called Painting House during the Seventies. His mindset and attitude towards the world was pretty much shaped by the Flower Power era. Like many other artists around the world his experiences during this revolutionary era opened his mind for foreign cultures, especially those of the Far East, which have a strong influence on his music.

In recent years Bram Schenk has built himself a state of the art studio. Through a simple twist of fate Schenk met two old fellow musicians in 2001, with whom he started his current project Althea W.  Some tracks of Althea W. were already released to great acclaim on successful compilations like "Buddha Lounge", "Mystic Celtic" and "Spirit of Freedom". They now re-appear on the first full-length Althea W.-album "Sinners & Saints". Bram Schenk and his fellow musicians pleasantly surprise their listeners with a style which they call Magic Realism, a stunning combination of catchy melody lines with space ambience and a swinging groove
