An absolutely unique album consisting of three pieces made for Trondheim Voices by Danish composer, artist, musician and more Aske Zidore. All very different in compositional structure and expression, this one stands out for me as a diverse and forward thinking approach to experimental vocal music.
Album came out via Anyines in January this year. I also had the privilege of working on the press material and PR back then.

Gorgeous ambient for all seasons. Individual parts intertwining into an eclectic and bordering-on-cinematic whole. A heartstring tug or two to be found throughout. And a lot of deliciously odd sound design woven in with the usual violins and what not, presented in a way that is anything but (usual, that is).

Soothing compositions full of melancholic and eerie undertones by two highly recommendable Danish artists. Out last month on Laurel Halo’s label Awe

Sparse, art / free jazz out of England from the former Ultimate Painting frontman, Jack Cooper. While the songs each have written notation, the players have liberty in interpreting how and when to play, creating space and tension within each song. Somewhat dissonant, mostly comforting, especially on a rainy morning.
My favorite track: “Cascade”

One of the best groups from the contemporary art music scene in Denmark, Halvcirkel draws Terry Riley and similar aesthetics in their own musical expression. The result is playful and soothing, yet also often daring and unpredictable in the best possible way. This manifests clearly in their recent collaborative album with Anders Lauge Meldgaard, Spirit.
