Albumas „Queen of the Night“ – alternatyvus muzikinis pasakojimas, kuriame žinomos operų herojės ištrūksta iš tradicinių tragedijų rėmų. Šiame albume grupė „Edgy Palates“ ne tik perkuria gerai žinomus klasikinius kūrinius, bet ir permąsto trijų stiprių, skirtingai meilę išgyvenančių moterų – Nakties karalienės, Čio Čio San ir Carmen – istorijas.

Šio albumo garsinis pasaulis – savotiška kelionė. „Edgy Palates“ transformuoja gerai žinomą, klasikinę muziką: Mozarto, Puccini, Bizet, Schuberto, Dvariono ir Šimkaus kūriniai susipina su šokių ir sunkiosios muzikos elementais. Tai ne tik rekompozicijos, tai garsinis perdirbimas, kuris senoms melodijoms suteikia naują, šiandieninį pulsą.

The album “Queen of the Night” is an alternative musical narrative in which well-known opera heroines break free from the traditional frameworks of tragedy. In this album, trio Edgy Palates not only reinterprets well-known classical pieces but also reimagines the stories of three powerful women who experience love in very different ways – the Queen of the Night, Cio-Cio San, and Carmen.

The soundscape of this album is a kind of journey. Edgy Palates transforms well-known classical music: works by Mozart, Puccini, Bizet, Schubert, Dvarionas, and Šimkus are combined with elements of dance and heavy music. These are not just recompositions – they are sonic remakes that give old melodies a new, contemporary pulse.

One Fine Day

Forelle

Habanera

Samanota

Queen of the Night

This track began life as an extended outro to my other track “Une Barque Sur L’Océan - Bastardised” but, seeing more musical potential in the material than could be explored in a simple coda, I decided to pull this out into being a piece in its own right. Again working to repurpose Ravel’s ideas to portray the movement of the ocean in my own way, in this track I pushed my vision to fully exploit the saxophone’s capabilities further than ever before. The track features complex saxophone percussion as well as a triumphant sax-organ that defines the second half of the piece.

This was my first experiment in my project covering influential repertoire. Taking Ravel’s infamous piano piece “Une barque sur l’océan”, I made it my mission to find a way to reproduce the sensations of his indulgent harmonies and fluid movement in a track with a danceable rhythm and solid structure.

Une Barque Sur L'Océan - Bastardised

Inspired by Ornette Coleman’s 1959 recording of this jazz standard, this track reimagines Lonely Woman through my own lens. After opening with grainy chords surrounding the signature melody, driving saxophone percussion and a looping rework of the bridge dramatically shift the tone.
