Lying on the  floor looking at the ceiling, drifting away

An improvisation inspired by my son ;o)&#13;
In the void between electronic soundscapes and jazz you find jazz guitarist Tao Hojgaard and his latest solo guitar project ”Space Jazz &amp; Stellar bleeps”&#13;
&#13;
A man, a guitar and loads of electronic devices which, each in their own manner, modulate and tweak the jazzy universe of the guitar and thereby create a new ”sound” – a sound possibly best defined as dreamy, lyrical fabulating film music – an urban expression, sometimes pulsating, and with the ability to create images within the listener.&#13;
&#13;
The visual inferno of cables, electronic machinery, flashing leds and countless knobs is in contrast to the classic look of the jazz guitar. Soundscapes, all initiated by the guitar, are created on the spot, in real time and deftly tweaked with the electronic devices. No preprogramming or prerecorded samples. An expansion of the guitar - the instrument and a showcase that “knobs tweaking” can be a very expressional instrument in its own right.&#13;
&#13;
Tao cites influences including jazz guitar pioneer Jim Hall, electronic musician/composer Scott Morgan, the father of Bebop Charlie Parker, as well as a wealth of film music composers.&#13;

When soul meets jazz and electronic music in live action

Soulful Snippet

"Jeg producerer næsten alt i realtime. Det er måske et levn fra min jazzbaggrund, men jeg har en ufravigelig idé om at det håndholdte med alle sine imperfections i udgangspunktet er tættere på perfektion end step-edit programmeringer nogensinde kan blive."

ep 2 - Mød Tao

I denne special-episode kommer du helt tæt på Tao aka. Mute State og hans fascinerende musiske oversættelse af Det Periodiske System:

"Det har været en fantastisk lærerig proces, sådan at oversætte kemiske regler og fænomener til musikkens ditto. 
Alle rytmer er direkte oversættelser af den måde elektroner fylder atom-skaller på. Helt basic forklaret, så repræsenterer hver atom-skal en lyd, antallet af elektroner i bemeldte skal bestemmer hvor mange gange lyden skal trigges per takt, og Paulis eksklusionsprincip bestemmer hvor slagene skal ligge i forhold til hinanden.

Værket som helhed er en lang gennemspilning af det periodiske system med fire takter af hvert atom, fra hydrogens ene elektron/slag per takt til Oganessons imponerende 118 elektroner/slag per takt. En kontinuerligt voksende kompleksitet, der intuitivt illustrerer atomers fascinerende urværk."

ep 10 - Det periodiske system oversat til musik

Taking the art of jazz guitar to the frontier, Tao uses a variety of effect pedals and loop machines to build robust, droning soundscapes. All sounds are initiated by the guitar and tweaked in real time with electronic devices. No preprogramming or slick computer-tricks. An expansion of the guitar - the instrument and a showcase that “knobs tweaking” can be a very expressional instrument in its own right.
