Atomize is deeply rooted in the bright dreams of the Space Age, where all was possible. Inviting us to glide between timepoints in the late Atomic Age, somewhere between the launch of Telstar and the accident at Three Mile Island, a time of wide-eyed technological hope, a Star Trekking utopianism.

Reflecting a genre that assimilates styles while continually retaining its essence, through Atomize, Scheffler, with the influence of his cool jazz progenitors and fusion forefathers: Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, Dave weaves rich aural textures of rippling pianos, warm strings and analog synths with an intrepid saxophone at its melodic helm - punctuated throughout with freewheeling solos. 

Dave composed these tunes while isolated in the Mojave Desert of Southern California during the pandemic lockdown. Then proceeded to procure an international cast of stellar players to breathe life into his innovative creations resulting in an ambitious project of unforgettable refrains of sound and rhythm.
