Mountain Range - The Past Is The Past Is The Past



Nic TVG avoids the Drum & Bass clichés and unearths a barrage of unheard breaks for the rhythmic template on this, his debut album. He demonstrates a delicate touch in his manipulations of this material on the intro track “A Mouse Among Monsters” and also a maniacal tendency in the insanely chopped nature of “Friday Nights With Heather” at the death of proceedings. In between, there are many facets of Nic's repertoire to explore.

There is an unmistakable free-jazz theme running throughout this album and so, it is no surprise to see Nic pay tribute to the great Charles Gayle and his on-stage alter ego “Streets” on “The Clown”. The track encapsulates the sad nature of Gayle's existence as a homeless person in New York in the 70's and 80's but also his devious musical nature, evident in the way the rhythm steps in and out of its regular meter and switches between a number of different percussive palettes at a moments notice.

The free-jazz influence is to the fore again on “Playing Drums As Pads” where the most unlikely and unwieldy drum-kit patterns are pushed together and somehow made coherent and compelling. “Lose The World On An Excuse” promises to remain a little more regular initially but the pulsing kicks of the intro soon give way to a whirlwind of drums, pitching bass notes and off-key violins for maybe the zaniest tune on the album!

“I'm Sorry I Puked On Your Dress” sounds like Jazz and Drum & Bass meeting Tchaikovsky's “Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy”. You could be listening to the future of ballet right here.

Moving on, the title track “Then I Disappear” is all intense drums, flitting bass plucks and looping horns. The reversed keys introduced as the track progresses develop a more reflective air which leads nicely into “Out Of No More” - probably the most introspective track on the album.

Perking things up is “Sitting In The Crosswalk” which forsakes the jazz overtones to flex a more recognisable Drum & Bass influence amid an uplifting autumnal ambience. The D&B strains are also much in evidence on “Let Yourself Be Unknown”. Crunchy amens cart-wheel among stark, sustained atmospherics but eventually gave way to a wistful synth riff before the beats and bass broodily return.

“She Looks Like Marisa Tomei” is interesting for its title but also for the way the rhythms are occasionally ratcheted up a notch from the steady kick and hi-hat interchanges by the injection of some rowdy funk drums. The low-end bass and stretched wind instruments work particularly well together in this beautiful blend of breakbeat and blues.

“My Life As A Hairless Aardvark” might just beat the stiff competition for best track title on the album. It also might just feature the most obtuse rhythm, which is saying something!

And so to the maniacal chopping of “Friday Nights With Heather”... talk about going out with a bang ! ... and then, I disappear.

Played at Asheville Movement Collective on Sunday April 30th, 2023

I wrote a poem for this ecstatic dance set as its intention.

Lion's Mane

Wild wind blown and untamed 
This Mane bares scars 
Marking resilience
Brutal courage
And lingering pain

To all the lions 
And lionesses out there
Still marking their terrain,
The Sun of the Earth
Shines upon your Mane

Spa Relaxation Music: Soothing Spa Sounds for Serenity

Breath Inside the Breath: Relaxing Spa Sounds (feat. Benjy Wertheimer)

Fiasco 3

Nachtwache 19.Oktober

Es knistert und groovt, dröhnt und säuselt in allen Ecken, wenn das KlangDrangOrchester auf eine seiner intensiven Klangreisen ins Gefühlsleben der Musiker und des Publikums geht. 

Das Frühjahr 2013 steht für das improvisierende KlangDrangOrchester ganz im Zeichen der Erforschung musikalischer Spielräume durch Reduktion. In der 3-teiligen Konzertreihe "Basics to go" untersucht Peter Wolf mit kompositorischen Rahmenkonzepten das Spektrum klangmalerischer Möglichkeiten für das Dirigat. Der Fokus richtet sich mithilfe reduzierter Zeichengruppen auf die verstärkte Wahrnehmung für Strukturen und Phänomene in gruppenimprovisatorischen Prozessen.

Der von Wolf verwendete Basiszeichensatz geht von den über 20-jährigen Erfahrungen des London Improvisers Orchestra aus. Dessen Zeichenrepertoire, das inzwischen weite Verbreitung gefunden hat, umfasst ca. 20 Gesten, die Aspekte wie Gruppen, Rhythmus, Funktionen, Feeling sowie dynamische und tonale Parameter steuern. Dazu kommen bei Wolf individuelle Zeichen und Absprachen sowie intuitiv zu erfassende, performative Zeichen, die über Körpersprache vermittelt werden.
