The martial band name is somewhat misleading: the quartet Phalanx doesn’t sound like a closed formation, but rather an open system. The relevant coordinates are jazz and something metal-avant-garde-like, hard to define. Anything can actually happen within these coordinates, and when the band speaks of “25 ideas” per composition, this is still modestly formulated.

- Johannes Pfingsten - drums
- Mathieu Bech - piano, composition
The wealth of ideas and the beauty in Phalanx’s music come from poles which are traditionally still opposites: jazz on the one hand, rock and noise on the other. Or transferred to the instruments: the piano on the one hand, an electric guitar – distorted in many interesting ways – on the other. Jazz-rock, so to speak – but without everything that classic jazz-rock often makes so gruesome. So without narcissistic soloing around and screaking.
