22025 WILLEM ABELEN & TOM VELTIEN

SUPERORDINATE

Out now, Zennez Records

Superordinate is the modest protest album by saxophonist Willem Abelen and guitarist Tom Veltien; a call for more focus on the unpolished, the raw. In an era of social media, artificial intelligence, and the quest for perfection, Tom & Willem look for an alternative. Whether it’s ballads or rugged grooves, the contrast between imperfection and simultaneously thoughtful compositions is central to this album, released in March 2025 by ZenneZ Records. Live, the duo brings the eight compositions to life through playful interaction, improvisation, and the necessary effects for both guitar and saxophone.
