Rymden & Kork - Bugge Wesseltoft’s piano trio (with E.S.T.’s Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund) plus orchestra (Jazzland)

Since forming in 2018 RYMDEN has established itself as one of the leading piano trios to ever emerge from the Nordic Jazz scene. All three members bring with them long-confirmed and lauded histories as innovators in jazz: Berglund and Öström via the Esbjörn Svensson Trio and their own projects (Tonbruket and Magnus Öström Band respectively); Wesseltoft via his New Conception of Jazz and other projects. Now, after several albums and many concerts, they meet KORK, an orchestra capable of responding to the trifold creative power that RYMDEN vigorously generates. KORK, for over three-quarters of a century has followed its own musical curiosity across genres, from "standard" orchestral repertoire, both classical and contemporary, to jazz, rock, and pop. Through close association with NRK, KORK has been heard across the world through its participation in the annual Nobel Peace Prize concert and the Eurovision Song Contests in 1986 and 1996. The combination of RYMDEN and KORK brings even greater contrast to music that already had its fair share of light and shade and brings a broader textural palette that enriches and defamiliarizes the compositions. These new arrangements expand on their source material, creating a different musical world without sacrifice of its original spirit. The compositions, already filled with drama or meditative passages, menace or light-hearted humour, rhythmic drive or fragmentary expression, are repainted, sometimes with the lightest of nuanced touches, other times with densely layered maximalism. Where the collaboration of RYMDEN and KORK may have been unexpected for some, the perfect alignment of the results suggest that it was inevitable.

アルバム制作−２０２４

ヒロオガワは、今年も秋に新譜を予定しています。今回は、趣向を変えて、クラシカルな作曲作品１２曲を収録しています。ComposerとしてのHiro Ogawaを前面に出し、（もちろんピアノ作品では、鍵盤奏者の本領を発揮しますが）オーケストラ、アンサンブルなどでは、緻密な作曲力が、提示されます。タイトル曲の叙情では、一部、即興的なフレーズが、垣間見え、どこかジャジーな音列にドキドキしたりします。 今後は、収録作品の紹介を兼ねて、小出しに動画を配信予定です。

Hiro Ogawa is planning to release a new album this fall. This time, his taste has changed and we have included 12 classical compositions. Hiro Ogawa as a composer comes to the fore (of course, he shows his true potential as a keyboard player in piano pieces), and in orchestras and ensembles, he shows off his precise compositional abilities. In the lyrics of the title song, you can see some improvised phrases, and the somewhat jazzy sound sequence makes your heart pound. In the future, we plan to distribute videos in small portions to introduce the recorded works.

u might remember that lofi jazz orch track I posted some months ago...... despite my severe lack of equipment and rudimentary mixing skills I am presenting it again, this time with my vocals :) I hope to be able to record my stuff properly one day lol. lyrics beneath the cut

I / never had a chance to catch my damn breath

I / don't know how I let you convince me you loved me

oh / how cruel can one person be? x2

I / don't know how you wormed your way into my heart x2

oh, you fucked it right up

I / don't know no I just don't know how to cope

I / never imagined we'd end up like this

I'll / never understand why we had to draw these lines in the sand

oh / you left me with no other choice oh / you left me with no fucking choice

I / was utterly spellbound in your sweet embrace

will / I ever be free of this curse? am I doomed to loving you my whole life? will I find, oh will I ever find peace?

I confess, I've been a mess over you

I hoped and prayed god I hoped and prayed for the strength to move on

but, I survived oh, nonetheless I'm here today with my head held high

I've braved your storm in the end, these lines in the sand have held fast

I once had such high hopes that you'd try to make amends

now, I know better you hold yourself above all else

I've / already forgiven you, however this inner turmoil relentlessly rages and rages nonstop

but I / will walk this path without you. I'll honour those lines that we made and I / will find my peace along the way ….. may we never meet again

More of those two :]

Yeah I was too lazy to finish properly the "9". Also before I go full essay mode in the tag : This was inspired by “Cloud 9” by Beach Bunny ! I feel like they could sing that. And yeah Miss Twisted would totally have an eletric guitar

#this was supposed to be just a doodle #batim #bendy crack up comics collection #bendy crack up comics #alice angel #miss twisted #Don't look at the mic for too long just pretend it makes sense ok #Also fun fact : Since Miss Twisted is basically the opposite of Alice in design I often tries to do so as well with her character #Like for example giving her a guitar because I feel like she would be more into rock than orchestral music or jazz #And that she can't sing that well so the guitar is her way of “singing” in music if that makes sense #In contrast of Alice who is reputed for her voice #But they also complete each other that way since one is doing the lyrics and the other the instrumental #Also don't hesitate to ask me about everything I thought about those two- At this point I feel like I accidentally made an AU xD #Ok I'll shut up now. Have a nice day whoever read all this !

Steve Lehman & Orchestre National De Jazz — Ex Machina (Pi)

When you think big, there’s no substitute for resources. Alto saxophonist and composer Steve Lehman’s ideas are typically broad and deep, but Ex Machina is especially massive. The project combines big band jazz, spectral composition, and interactive electronics. Any one of these elements takes study and skill to master, and while Lehman has the instrumental chops and integrative intellect grasp the parts, it takes a lot of time in a well-stocked kitchen to assemble them all into something that isn’t just a lumpy influence stew. requires a lot of time in a well-stocked kitchen.

In order to pull off this project, Lehman collaborated with the Orchestre National de Jazz, a big band funded by the French government. He also involved IRCAM (the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Musics) to incorporate electronics that respond to the live musicians in real time. After years of composing and workshopping, Lehman and his long-time American collaborators, trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson and vibraphonist Chris Dingham, joined the orchestra for eight concerts, and then settled into the studio for four days at the beginning of 2023.

The time and resources have not gone to waste. This music feels not only sui generis — the only records it really sounds like are Lehman’s earlier octet recordings — but lived-in. The exchanges between dopplering horn sections and single soloists, and the meshing between orchestrated frequencies and precisely mutating rhythms, is spot-on.

But enough about how impressive it is; what is it? Essentially, it’s a transfer of Lehman’s spectral jazz concept, in which an understanding of frequency relationships yields access to alien sounds and an engagement with rhythm concepts spanning the ages of bebop and hip-hop makes the whole thing swing, to a post-Gil Evans orchestral environment. It has plenty of big brass punch, crips rhythms, and abrupt shifts in velocity and tone, all of which create fertile opportunities for adroit soloists to assert both structure-oriented and emotion-evoking responses. Ex Machina is everything it set out to be. And if you’re looking for a recording that’ll give you new things to hear every time you play it, it is without peers.

guys.... i like... jazz..

#jazz #orchestral #music #badn #im gay #whoops #jazz again

[andreablog2]

I love hostile sounding jazz it’s such a treat in movies honestly like sorry this sounds so pretentious and gay but jazz is very versatile and it’s really only ever known for being positive upbeat and chill but there’s as much emotional range w jazz as there is w classical like there’s suspenseful jazz, romantic jazz, sad jazz, angry jazz. I think jazz honestly can express things classical can’t. I need to know more about classical and jazz so I can run my mouth abt this more but better educated but it definitely has to do w Eurocentrism.

#also like the jazz they use for phone on hold music compared to the classical they use for phone on hold is very telling #it’s always some mind numbing doo doo doo and classical is like snippets of the most dramatic parts of different symphonies #but there’s lots of doo doo doo classical and lots of orchestral jazz

345: Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld // Never Were the Way She Was

Never Were the Way She Was Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld 2015, Constellation (Bandcamp)

My prevailing memory of seeing Sarah Neufeld and Colin Stetson’s duo performance in a small room at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa was the way they spent much of the performance with their eyes locked on one another. When violinist Neufeld became lost in her own playing and arched backward, in the same motion Stetson would lean forward over his hulking, steampunk bass saxophone, his legs braced wide. It was as though the two of them were bound at the neck by a long, invisible leather strap. In the most intense passages, they would square off barely a foot apart, like two rams, the veins in Stetson’s sweaty neck and forehead standing out, Neufeld’s angled forearm a blur of precision cuts. Despite also seeing Stetson’s SORROW, an arrangement of Gorecki’s 3rd Symphony for a 12-piece band, during the same festival, it was the intimate physicality of the duo show with Neufeld that had the bigger impact on me.

While Stetson has frequently performed in larger combos (as has Neufeld with Arcade Fire, for that matter), in solo and duo performances his uniqueness as a player is more legible. On Never Were the Way She Was, he uses his uncanny circular breathing technique to create ogrish drones (“With the Dark Hug of Time”), loop-like melodic phrases (“The Sun Roars Into View”), and even to emulate broken techno beats (“The Rest of Us”). Stetson is a pretty physically jacked guy, and when you see him do this stuff in person it’s a bit like watching a blacksmith going at his forge—on record it can be easy for an inattentive listener to miss the exertions required to produce these sounds. But when you start tuning in to the fact all of this groaning cacophony is produced by one man’s laboured lungs, its rawness and minor imprecisions become captivating.

Neufeld takes centre stage on the more somber, post-rocky tunes like the title track, her violin weeping rust as she overlooks a grey bay, Stetson contributing various fog horns and stomach upset. Now and again she wordlessly sings, but it’s always recorded distantly, like a memory of some ever-present sorrow you refuse to allow to surface. On “In the Vespers,” she sketches out a tricky rhythm that Stetson eventually echoes on a tenor sax, the pair running through an odd-time workout that would sound like prog were in not for the chilly clarity of her phrasing, the way the energy decays once again into remorse.

The pair’s previous collaboration was a 2013 film score (Blue Caprice), and the record is of a piece with the influential work Stetson has subsequently done as a soundtrack composer (notably Ari Aster’s Hereditary). As with fellow Aster collaborator the Haxan Cloak, Stetson’s work has helped to define the sound of contemporary unease. If you’ve watched a recent horror movie or psychological thriller, the palette of Never Were the Way She Was will already be familiar—but here the pieces aren’t tied to any preconceived scenario, and the interplay between the two musicians gives it a dynamism and complete-in-itself mood all its own.
