Harper Trio / Dialogue of Thoughts

 Σου είχα πει για το πρώτο, βγήκε και δεύτερο

 

 

In recent years, the jazz harp has quietly reemerged as a force in modern jazz circles, exemplified by electric jazz harpist and composer Maria-Christina Harper. In 2023, she released her much-acclaimed debut album 'Passing By 'with The Harper Trio, imbuing her compositions and instrument with a spirit of innovation and creative freedom. Drawing influences from her Greek and Egyptian musical roots to the avant-garde, the album established the trio's signature sound - spiritually charged, shimmering soundscapes and experimental tones - recasting the harp's place in jazz.

Dialogue of Thoughts is The Harper Trio's second album reuniting the exceptional talents of celebrated drummer Evan Jenkins (of the Neil Cowley Trio) and dynamic saxophonist Josephine Davies. True to her approach, Maria-Christina Harper is less concerned with placing her harp centre stage than creating a dialogue between band members, each bringing their own experiences to the sound. The trio takes the listener on an aural journey rich in nuance and unexpected turns. Throughout the album, Davies' warm, full-bodied tone and expansive solos--fuelled by Jenkins' measured, intricate drumming--interplay with the harp to evoke contrasting moods, from brash intensity to quiet serenity and unhurried calm.

Kerala Dust / An Echo Of Love

 KERALA DUST’S MAGNIFICENT NEW ALBUM, AN ECHO OF LOVE, IS AN OBJECT LESSON IN NEVER STANDING STILL. CENTRAL TO ITS MUSICAL HYBRIDITY – WHERE ART ROCK MEETS INNOVATIVE ELECTRONICA AND THE WARM EMBRACE OF THE DANCEFLOOR LEAVES ROOM FOR THE EXPANSIVE VISTAS OF AMERICANA, DESERT BLUES AND CREPUSCULAR DRIVES THROUGH A NEON-LIT CITY – IS A RECORD ALIVE TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF CONSTANT FLUX. IT’S A WONDERFULLY SHAPESHIFTING RECORD; A RESTLESS FUSION WHERE MEANING IS FOUND IN FRAGMENTS RATHER THAN ANYTHING FIXED OR STATIC. (ΚΑΛΑ ΤΑ ΛΕΕΙ)

BICEP / TAKKUUK

 TAKKUUK is a new immersive installation from BICEP, visual artist Zak Norman and filmmaker Charlie Miller that explores the lives, communities and challenges facing artists Indigenous to the Arctic Region.

Created in partnership with the charity In Place of War, as part of their EarthSonic programme, the installation sees the renowned Northern Irish electronic duo — otherwise known as Andy Ferguson and Matthew McBriar — collaborating with a number of Indigenous vocalists, including Katarina Barruk, Andachan, Sebastian Enequist (from Sound of the Damned), Tarrak, NUIJA, Niilas and Silla. The vocals were recorded in 2024 by Detroit-based producer and musician Matthew Dear in Árni Árnason from The Vaccines studio, during Iceland Airwaves festival in Reykjavík. The resulting demos, combined with additional field recordings taken by Ferguson from the Russell Glacier in Greenland, form the backbone of this unique soundtrack, which BICEP then produced and recorded in their London studio.
