E/I
explicit isolation
Boomkat Product Review:
Drummer/composer Szymon Pimpon Gąsiorek's international ensemble is joined by hurdy-gurdy player Samo Kutin, organist Kaja Draksler and tuba player Rasmus Svale for another lifted fusion of cosmic jazz, deep listening drone and "acoustic ambient".
Gasiorek describes his latest E/I transmission as "futuristic temple music" and he's not far off. Flanked by six friends he met while he was studying at Copenhagen's Rhythmic Music Conservatory and the Royal Danish Academy of Music, he's got a great deal at his disposal, but refuses to take the simple path. Using unusual tunings to highlight his themes of tension and release, formation and dissolution and density and lightness, he assembles the viola, cello, double bass and horns in unusual shapes, conducting the group and playing synth, shruti box and percussion. The additional sounds from the organ, hurdy-gurdy and tuba, only make the 15-minute opener 'insulation' even more solid, lending spiritual flair and medieval clout to the swelling soundscape.
'ex' is a little different, though; here the jazz influence emerges wholeheartedly when the drones dissipate and the various horns go head-to-head with Gąsiorek's arpeggiated synths. And on 'in', Draksler's goopy organ part - recorded in the Slovenian village of Trboje - almost takes us to church, before the composition falls apart in a chaotic bluster of instrumental bleats and woody knocks.
