This EP is an adventure, traveling to the inner depths of the Jazz-Noise universe. Walking the fine lines  and sacred grounds between the two genres, with a heavy bag filled with influences by the greats.
The goal in mind for this EP was to try and fuse two genres, using their commonalities and some spicy magic.
These tracks utilize all the tools of the trade. It's the electronic, the acoustic, instrumental, harsh, experimental, improvisational, the intense, cerebral and carnal, to produce this deliciously interesting palette.

Earlier variations of the tracks in this EP appeared in compilations in 2022-2023, but were revisited, re-edited, and partially re-recorded for this joyous of occasions.

When the Lights Explode

"THE HIDDEN HAND" is a dense and unsettling exploration of sound. It blends the improvisational spirit and harmonic language of jazz with the abrasive textures and unpredictable structures of noise music. Don't expect moments of fractured saxophone or other jazz instrumentation because they're buried deep within and are battling against layers of static, feedback, and electronic distortion. The track creates a claustrophobic and intense atmosphere, where familiar jazz elements are deconstructed and contorted by a raw, soft but often overwhelming sonic assault. It's a challenging listen that sits at the intersection of avant-garde jazz and noise, rewarding those seeking a truly unconventional and confrontational sonic experience. Although rooted deeply in doom music and drone metal, this track might not be for listeners that prefer traditional notions of these genres.

THE HIDDEN HAND

An experimental musician and sound artist blending noise, jazz, electronics and avant-garde improvisation. 

Usually: exploring and pushing the boundaries of sonic textures and dissonance. Sculpting soundscapes that challenge conventional notions of melody and harmony. 

Sometimes: a member of noise rock, drone, doom and powerviolence groups.
