A Summer Evening

This track was awarded "Best Crazy Combination" at the Music Innovation Competition" from Mixed in Key. 

From its structural form to its unusual use of rhythm, microtonal musical scales, extended harmony and lyrics written in my own conlang, this beat has a lot of extra cheese added to it.

Program notes:

Since the age of 14 I have had an on-going love/hate relationship with jazz music. Around that age I started studying jazz-guitar and kept studying it until the age of 19. During many of those years I had a dream of becoming a professional jazz-guitarist, a dream I never achieved. Partly because I didn't practice well enough, but mainly because I never truly understood the genre. To me jazz is a genre full of contrasting elements. It is completely free, but also painfully strict. It is part rebellion, part absolute conformity. It is the coolest musical genre in the world, but also somehow the lamest. The idea behind the piece JÆZZ was to finally be able to tackle the genre completely on my own terms. JÆZZ is part celebration, part parody and part something in between the two of a genre of music I love but never managed to understand.
