Low Key Weird Ambient Fuzz Creepy - 4

The Netherlands (2000 – present)

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (TKDE) formed in 2000 as a project to compose new music for existing silent movies. Jason Köhnen (aka Bong-Ra) and Gideon Kiers (Telcosystems), both graduates of the Utrecht School of Arts, combined their audio and visual skills to reinterpret classic movies by F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) and F. Lang (Metropolis). 

In 2004 UK trombonist Hilary Jeffery and Swiss cellist Nina Hitz joined TKDE to record the self-titled debut album which was released on Planet Mu Records in May 2006. The ensuing tour saw Eelco Bosman and Paris based vocalist Charlotte Cegarra join, forming the Ensemble into a sextet. London based violinist Sadie Anderson joined in 2008 to supply the group with extra power on stage.

The Netherlands has been TKDE’s homebase since 2007, while members have moved closer to each other to make composing and producing easier.

Apart from the mothership which is TKDE, there is another entity; The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is a live improv jazz / drone / doom side project consisting of TKDE members and a host of interchanging guest musicians. 

Due to the vast possibilities within the band, the sound spectrum of TKDE is hard to capture within one specific composition. Moreover, the project will lean towards various styles depending on the respective members working together at a given time. A good mix between atmosphere and technique is always the strong basis for a TKDE composition.

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - Sharbat Gula

This album perfectly captures the multitude of feelings be it in dreams, hallucinations, passion, paranoia ,darkness, screams, smiles or glamour no matter what it may be, it remains in some way a forgotten and empty place where you the listener can find, or not, find yourself."

Smoke Night

from 'Parole de Navarre' [CD|2xLP|DIGITAL] Reissue
Denovali Records · den060
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/dalecooper]

AFTER 4 YEARS FINALLY REPRESSED - COMES WITH A NEW CD & LP ARTWORK. Formed for the improvisation nights Dynamo in Brest, France, this quartet made of musicians covering a wide variety of musical styles creates a sound that mixes electronic (samples, cuts, sound treatments) and acoustic elements (guitars, saxophone, trumpet). They’re playing moody ballads that sound as if they would come out from one of David Lynch's movies. Like in the films of Hollywood’s master of bizarre pieces, there is something like a dark and poisonous colour broken by red thunderlights and blue cigarette smoke. The music spawnes some odd characters and landscapes while the listener makes out some more friendly faces that loom up out of this nowhere place: the voice of Zalie Bellaccico, Milanese streets sounds, a lazy flute, or some distant breathing swim on the surface of this deep troubled waters. "Paroles de Navarre" is an invitation for opening the red curtain of this Dark Jazz cabaret made of shimmering and whirling walls. One of the best musical outputs from France of the last ten years and already a classic.

Serie Noire

An 8-sphere musical journey through death and rebirth, fusing Steiner's cosmology with Tibetan Bardo. From dissolution to solar apex to reincarnation, each piece maps post-mortem consciousness through ambient soundscapes, sacred vocals, and ritual percussion. 65 minutes of deep listening meditation produced with AI.

VII. Jupiterian & Saturnian Spheres - Cathedrals of Frost

A slow–motion dream inside a soft cosmic fog. Long, evolving pads and warm sub drones carry the whole piece, with no melodies pushing forward — just pure, steady ambience made for deep sleep.
