about

Intakt CD 111

With «Sequel,» trombonist, composer, and computer artist George Lewis presents a seminal work that breaks new ground in the borderland between acoustic and electronic music. In a unique effort of synthesis Lewis sought «to create a site of hybridity between electronic and acoustic sound worlds, and diverse aesthetic directions,» putting together an ensemble of eight musicians from different sound cultures to participate in the NEWJazz Meeting Baden-Baden in November 2004. Over the course of a couple of days, musicians from the areas of contemporary Improv, experimental electronica, independent rock sounds and modern composition worked together in the SWR studio in Baden-Baden, Germany. Material gathered from the studio recordings, plus live recordings of concerts in Basel and Rottenburg have been carefully edited for this CD that comprises the title theme «Sequel,» which is based on a composition by George Lewis, and three live cuts featuring free improvisations from the Rotenburg and Basel performances.

I am really enjoying this. Was brought to it by searching for some Derek Bailey. I am also on a George Lewis kick theses days. This album seems like an achievement. Combining computers and brilliant improvisers. And it is such good music. The whole process seems fascinating but becomes irrelevant. The music is that good.The computer sounds like Sun Ra. liclon

Pillars

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
