Jazz - 3 In a Row

Right now there's a lot of Jazz Moods circulating in my living room. The sounds from various vinyl LPs on the grammophone's heard.
A couple of weeks ago I had some opportunities to see 'n' hear the majestic reeds man Mats Gustafsson in various constellations: The Thing & Otomo Yoshihide, FTJ (with Joachim Nordwall) and Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentett + 1.
At the first concert I bought the all new 11" piece of plastic "Jazz på Svenska" by Swedish Ass. a quintett featuring Mats, playing their tribute to Swedish jazz giants of the 50's and 60's, Lasse Werner and Lars Gullin, bringing their classic jazz into new territories.



Inspired by that album I just had to check whatever there was to be found by the two guys. Lasse Werner's still on my wants-list, but for Lars Gullin I found a great compilation from his famous 1951 - 1954 era,



"Danny's Dream - Lars Gullin 1951 - 1954 - The Legendary Years", a two disc set released in mid-70's by the Metronome label. Maybe not too common to hear jazz from these years on my player, but this album is just as good as I thought it should be.



I've always had some favour of British jazz from late 60's and ten years on, mostly focusing on artists from the Canterbury Scene, especially Soft Machine and artists related to them, but also people like Keith Tippett, Mike Gibbs and so on. Tippett's Centipede double disc album "Septober Energy" has always been an outstanding one for me. When checking up more of what there was to find in Tippett's catalogue including bigger bands I jumped into his 1977 project Keith Tippett's Ark and the double disc album "Frames - Music for an Imaginary Film". The band consists of 22 persons, some of them know from the Centipede Gargantua effort, others from the British jazz nad free form scene of late 60's and 70's. The 80 minutes suite in four parts is a complex piece of music, varies from strict composition to open and free improvisations, and with Julie Tippett's voice here and there, like a well-tasting spice mix this album becomes one of Tippett's best ever.
When having a little chat with Mats G during one of the concerts we talked a bit about Tippett and his music. I told him I've seen the rare "Frames" album at Harald Hult's excellent record store Andra Jazz in Stockholm, but the price was scary, 1200 kronor (about 165$). Mats consider Andra Jazz being the best and kindest record store ever, but "yes, Harald is a bit expensive...". Next time I was there the album was gone, I didn't even have to bother about the price anymore (instead I bought, yes, Swedish Ass). A couple of weeks later I bought it through the sales service at Discogs for 500 kronor (about 70$) and when it arrived I just realised what I've already heard - the album is magnificent. Ogun Records, of course.
It has been re-released on CD, but right now, who cares? Recommended!

Recent Music Heroes - Numbers & Letters review

Dear Kert Semm continue to bring light to our music. But, to keep us on the ground he brings us some valuable reflections, too. And we're happy he do.
Here's a review from his Recent Music Heroes blog
ThanX Kert!

Joxfield ProjeX Numbers & Letters (Clinical Archives)

Yet one year ago the Swedish pop music seemed to have strongly been associated with the sound of fields, sunshine and colourful flowers. You even know, such beautiful and safe, yet masterful and well-produced conceptions which fulfilled the task of muzak in the certain way. (The muzak as music is such a kind of listening object which is used to be predictable, i.e, keeping to live its own life from the very start without needing much attention and reasoning anymore). However, all my premisses were changed since I heard Joxfield ProjeX, by Yan and Oax leaded ensemble which showed up really deep and ungraspable point of view.

In fact, there has been a lot of albums within a year: Bits And Pieces# 1-13; Picnic; Virtual Dreams & Realities; Shimmering Mah No 1; Phantastique; and recently, Oddities And Rarities 2005-2010. No one of them were failed. Moreover, all the aspects of serious and intellectual-minded rock music were profoundly investigated on the aforementioned issues: from the progressive rock to the open-minded and over-the-edge-pouring space rock, ambient techno and kosmische musik conceptions.

A new one is compiled of 24 tracks (or 3 CD sets), including cooperation snippets of such luminaries as Pat Mastoletto, Geoff Leigh, and Kenji Siratori among other guests. It might be seem in comparison with the duo`s previous works it does sound more free jazz-y, incorporating the elements of pompous electro-rock/baggy-ish breakbeats, in Japanese spoken word, dream-loaded and hazy flute improvisations, ragga-rhythms and tanpura-sitar drones. However, it is obviously the first time when a release by their side seems to be a bit loose (or extrovert as it is already said), sometimes "uncomposed", based mainly on free improvised jams, or on the other side, sinking into the mould of avant-prog bottom. On the last third of the album, however, it smashes its head spot getting intensely to haze its boundaries and breaking on the other side. Though my top notch and recommendation is previously Oddities And Rarities 2005-2010, yet, those 24 tracks are very important part to get completed the whole regarding Joxfield ProjeX`s sound and conception. The whole picture of them became even more indistinct. And it is excellent, of course. By a Joker`s point of view indeed.

Words & Music by Oax and Yan except words on ‘For A Rainy Day Part 1 (Double Bind)’ & ‘Kenji Self-Unit’ by Kenji Siratori, words and sung melody on ‘Dragons Fly In The Night’ by Geoff Leigh.

Has Joxfield ProjeX become a Big Band with all these guests? And is this The White Album of Joxfield ProjeX? The answer is No on both questions. When we were about to start our new recording sessions in 2007 we had decided we wanted to bring our music into territories where we had never been before. To do so we wanted to involve other people and asked around amongst artists we liked and respected and to whom we could direct a mission - contribute to our music in an open-minded and creative way. Most of those we asked generously brought their inspiration to us and went into the project, sometimes for a specific track, sometimes for many of them.
Very quick we realised it was a huge project and when it all was finished we had about 2½ hours of music we didn’t want to split up. That’s why it’s a 3 disc set. The variation of the music is the variation of our minds, that’s how we are. For those who care Disc A - Abstract Numbers is maybe a bit introvert, reflective and the Discs B & C - Concrete Letters A-Z might seem extrovert, a little bit more easy-going.
Most of the music is recorded in 2007 with lots of additional recordings, editing and treatments in 2007 - 2010.

Joxfield ProjeX is still the duo Oax and Yan playing their instruments, programming stuff, adding whatever they find reasonable to add, edit and treat.
What about the guests? Most of them do have a long and deep history of success with various bands etc, but instead of fooling both you and them and pretend this music here sounds like anything what they’ve done with those constellations we suggest you check ‘em up by your own.

Joxfield ProjeX:
Oax - Most of the guitars and loads of other stuff heard all over
Yan - Most of the keyboards, percussion programming and loads of other stuff heard all over

Guests:
Geoff Leigh - Flute, soprano saxophone, vocals, effects, Jews harp
Pat Mastelotto - Drums, percussion, samples
Nikke Ström - Bass
Håkan Almkvist - Bass, sitar, tanpura, percussion
Kenji Siratori - Spoken word
Hiromichi Sakamoto - Cello
José João - Elephantnoiseguitar
Churner - Harsh noise
Regina P - Vocal

Smorgasbord - Review by Kert Semm

Today, on Kert Semm's blog Recent Music Heroes (http://agier.blogspot.com/), a great review on Smorgasbord. ThanX alot, Kert!!!

Check it here (autotranslated from Estonis):

Oax and Yan is back - two crazy old man is back in Sweden. And, as a rule I do not care what the old musicians do: I do not care what Robert Fripp and Holger Czukay make even Morrissey, Brett Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and the `i` i no longer feel the case against public interest. But these two 60s though a passport with an interest is languid. They are representatives of the old school, born a few years after World War II, however, make many of today's musicians for the eyes, miserably. Men are vinged makers, as they have defeated the gang last year `s King Crimson, Pat accepted and Mastoletto küberpunkar Siratori Kenji (the latter is also represented on this album).

"Smorgasboard" is undoubtedly a writer for this year's expected reliis. And once again, expectations are gullible, breaking parimadki imaginations of listeners. 12 tracking period 2005-2010, which will focus on "the rarities and veidrustele". True, it is added to the relative tautological as to be familiar with the duo earlier creations. Again, balancing the spatial ekspansiivsuse, krautrock-kosmische `i` s psychedelic music, and hypnotic electronic lõpmatusemärgi flow between and after. And when we talk about infinity, I'm doing so great reputation. It makes no sense to highlight the separate compositions, in spite of the fact that they differ greatly - so elemental as the emotional angle. Just saund it is infinite, cosmic good. I do not know exactly what could mean a "cosmic good," but this album I think of it aimavat as saund is self-sufficient, and the transcendental. You just have to take time off and let the sounds of emotions, and spirit guide. And if you watch and record label Clinical Archives plaadiümbrist diskograafianumbrit `i (402), it seems to matter even more ulmelisem. Your Inner Outer space is our space.

Life Is Funny.... Tuli RIP

Read the news today, o boy...
Well, read today, but actually not the news of today, but, anyway, on the 12th this month Tuli Kupferberg passed away at the age of 86.
Both as writer, anarcho-beat-poet, singer and composer this guy has made parts of our lives much funnier, more serious and better.
For about twelve days ago, for no specific reason, maybe just coincidential, when driving the rented car through the landscape I put on a burnt CD, 'The Fugs - Live in the 60's' and through the partly bad sound quality I heard songs and presentations of them that made my mind go spiritual clear of pure joy, songs as the Tuli epic 'Nothing', here recorded in Sweden and called 'The Swedish Nada'. Maybe an homage without knowing playing these tracks.
Otherwise, for you who have no relationship to this guy, start the journey with 'Life Is Funny', a 14 seconds happy pop tune from the 1968 album "It crawled into my hand honest":

Life is funny
Life is free
Got all them goodies come to me
It's so funny I could cry
It's so funny you could die
It's so funny

Rumbles For July

Anyone interested in some artistic and wellwritten reviews from... yes, you're right, you have to be your own detective, dear Watson...

As If Anyone Would Notice...

...but the blog-master a.k.a. The Terrible Guitarist of the Cosy Combo, a.k.a. the unexperienced part of The Jane Henry Experience, the grey member of Ambient DarkWhite et cetera, et cetera, will enter the small countryside cottage (made famous through the cover art shown on the previous blog entry) for a month or so, for some well deserved resting, enjoying good reading, music, eating and drinking, sometimes in good company, watching the grass grow...

This Week 5 Years Ago....

Yepp. This week 5 years ago Dark White Morning was recorded, unmixed, unedited and unoverdubbed.
Time flies like a jetplane.
It seems like yesterday, but also like 30 years ago.
Life's nothing but a surreal pudding.
Cheers for us!

Classic ! ! !

Can't resist this piece of art.
Joe Yamanaka was the original lead singer of Flower Travelli' Band when they released their super classic Japanese prog-psych album Satori in 1971.
This live version can't be more than 5-10 years old and he still has his strange voice kept in good condition.
I have no idea who the other musicians are, but I doubt any of them are from the original FTB line up. The three drummers in a row are nice...

Joxfield ProjeX vs. Ambient DarkWhite

Anyday Now

Just an ordinary Saturday morning, could be any day and it just is.
The sun is shining and that's nice, brings some energy to life.

On the player is Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.'s 'Cometary Orbital Drive' (2008), a 70 minutes piece divided into four parts, based on the note sequence A-E-D-A-G-Db, repeated within the frames of various surroundings, creating a mantra-like psychedelic symphony of a kind seldom heard.

Following that is the same band's very beautiful and varied 'Univers Zen Ou De Zéro A Zéro' (2002), the extended 4 LP version. Could this be Acid Mother's best album? No-one will tell you and no-one will ever know. Band pix above is probably from around that time.

Anyway,
meanwhile working hard on the cover of the forthcoming split single by Joxfield ProjeX/Ambient Darkwhite, 'The Steak RMX'/'Death Of A Sirloin Steak'.
Stricly limited once in a lifetime pressing, out on Tin Can Music in a present future close to you.

Phantastique

Here we go: Joxfield ProjeX' Christmas gift to you all.

"Phantastique" is a virtual LP. The intension was to make a straight, plain and simple jam record based on some repetitive patterns, at least in Joxfield ProjeX' terms of what is straight, plain and simple. Not to get too much stuck into the spacey jams the tunes are separated by some short experimental pieces. Look at these moments as opportunities to get some good, fresh air.
Even though it's maybe not heard in the music, the main inspirational sources for these recordings are some albums by Acid Mothers Temple, especially Kawabata Makoto's mixing style, but also some funky grooves from Miles Davis' 'On The Corner' period.
This album should be played LOUD, in excitement and full awareness.

Recorded at Camps Anna & Batang 2007-2009
Produced by Oax & Yan of Joxfield ProjeX
Powered by Tin Can Music

Yan: Keyboards, percussion programmer
Oax: Guitars, bass, voice- & percussion samples

This is Joxfield ProjeX fifth Clinical Archives release.
ThanX Alex for majestic support!

interesting music, mostly unknown, at least in my little world.
Experimental and underground of all kinds (synth, prog, psyxch, contemporary, sound constructions, name it), always music with a twist, always pointing forward.
It's rips of LPs, Cassettes, CDRs, CDs, whatever, mainly from the 70's and 80's, but could be from anytime.
All music are from very unavailable albums, out of stock for ages.

2009 Kolpebo Sessions - November

O, Mah God, was it really time again, 2½ years since last time in June 2007?
The strict and quick answer is: Yes!
So, we headed for Camp Kolpebo, the beautiful recording enviroment, the heart of our creativity, when we comes together in the same room with our instruments, our opened minds and some basic recording equipment (yeah yeah, beer, wine and whisky, we know... let's not talk about it...)

The magnificent view from our window.
It seems to be a bit cold outside.
Beer and food inside the house this time, we guess...

This is a table...

... and Yan start to unpack the gear...

Done!

And so with the guitarist's stuff...

Action (1)

Action (2)

Hum Di Dumm.... This Is Abnormal Science...
Ableton Live's a bit tricky for The Dept. of Technology, but works fine in the end

The Innocent Dreamer

Ola & The Jugglers

That's it, folks.
Five days of hard work.
Almost 4 hours of terror ready for edits, treatments, adds, whatever...
Stuff back into the car.
House cleaned.
Off we go...

But...ehhrr....The Result?

Wait and see, just wait and see.
The future will come closer and closer and one day...
Say no more

A big THANX to Thomas & Anette for letting us use the house

O'

What's Up?

Anyone out there wondering what has happened with the flow of info on this site?
O, just cool down.
There is nothing to be said about this.
We're in the preparation mood, soon getting together for another (in)famous, weeklong, 24-hours-a-day recording session at Camp Kolpebo.
Even the future has a beginning. This is where our future begins.
So, once again, just cool down, lean back, enjoy every existing moment of life and wait for a future near you to arrive.........

Wonderful Review by Kert Semm

These wonderful words written by Kert Semm could be found on
Engendered from Divine Breath - a site dedicated to the free released music:

Joxfield ProjeX Bits And Pieces # 1- 13 (Clinical Archives)

I ought to admit I do have a little knowledge about Swedish avant-garde music. Fixing the mind on this I am able to name only some examples having came from the end of the 70`s and the first half of the 80s. Early Blue Nun, Cosmic Overdose, and young Arvid Tuba as well. Recently I figured out that there have been two musicians behind the pseudonyms Oax, and Yan who have collaborated since the end of the 60`s, although Joxfield ProjeX itself was established in 2005.

Supposed that they are aged men, maybe with white long beards too, but thanks to their long-running musical experience they are still generating the sound which is far more innovate than the most young musicians are able to create nowadays. Up to 2009 they had released lots of albums on the label Tin Can Music. In the recent year all 3 albums (in fact, some days ago they issued their fourth album already!) have been released under Clinical Archives. Yes, I can`t go without spruiking them. All their albums are masterpieces in itself.

The album Picnic is dominated by ambient dub, and ambient techno tunes in a bit narrower range respectively. Homogeneous yet decorous drift of hesychastic sounds which best days were ended up by the first half of the 90s.

Virtual Dreams & Realities consists of 2 tracks - the first of them is long of 43 minutes and divided in 11 parts. By conceptual side you can find huge similarities with Faust`s The Faust Tapes, though, by sonic facade it is more angular and schizoid. All the music presented here ranges from sound fragments of rural ambience to metronomic rhythm machine, space rock and kosmische musik as well. Faust, Gong, Canterbury scene seem to be some differentiable influences among others, as I would suppose. It might be the Finnish bands like Kospel Zeithorn, and Ester Poland are the closest kindred spirits of them nowadays. However, it is quite hard work to describe all those events happening throughout this track. The another track bases on a pulsating techno beat and vocal sample, which are surrounded by different kind of sonic and voice effects moving more or less chaotically around the basic axis.

Bits And Pieces # 1 – 13 consists of 2-3-minutes tracks, which in the context of Joxfield ProjeX does mean the tracks with shorter duration as usually used to be. 13 tracks in 35 minutes.
The artists and writers sampled here are Guillaume Apollinaire, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, James Joyce, Allen Ginsberg, William S Burroughs, and Ezra Pound as well. Yet, it can`t be considered as a spoken word album in a narrow sense of this word. The basic essence of the album is developed into a vast threedimensionality, having conquered by flowing industrial-sounding guitar riffs and cosmic synth grooves. While the track Black Light returns to the concept of the album Picnic. Bits And Pieces... may have a surreal point of view just to open up in front of us the dilation of outer space in the form of music and nondescript incantation of those aforementioned dadaists and beatniks. Upon listening to vibrating buzz of the final track As Conceptual As... I would like to think a journey that started somewhere in the rangeland on Virtual Dreams & Realities has reached the middle point of outer space. Of course, it is my own fiction based on my choice to get bobbled the queue of three albums.

Actually it does not make any difference what kind of way will this album be criticized - face-to-face with another albums or in absolute way. The result used to be evenhandedly powerful and impressive anyway.




We can't anything but say ThanX Kert, big words!

The Muse In Music

Reasd today:
The Muse In Music presents: New music tuesday:

"I needed a day to let this one process. It’s Shimmering/Mah No 1 by Joxfield ProjeX. The first track explores the cosmos in brick-and-mortar terms, the second, in a more virtual way. Very interesting stuff. The shorter of the two cuts clocks in at just under 20 minutes, so don’t approach this with any EP dread.

For a taste, try this clip:



That’s “Have I Been Here Before,” and no, friends, you have not."

And, of course we thank Fred for uplifting words.

And once again we bow our heads in humble respect when we travel through this connection between ancient film-making and modern vibes.

AltRev & Accident In Space

He's done it again, our Hungarian pal, and be sure it's by purpose, not an accident at all.
And be sure we like it.
Psychedelic? Of course!

AltRev & The Religious Side Of Joxfield?

For anyone who can't wait, AltRev has done it again.
It's all in heaven...

AltRev Goes Into Pieces

Once, when recording some basses for the Numbers & Letters project with a professional and in Sweden legendary bassplayer he said after a while, when getting familiar to our music and maybe being a bit confused of its content:

- When you record, do you smoke any mysterious stuff or take any drugs or so?

Listening to what we sounds like maybe one or two of you might think like that, but I gave him the true answer:

- Noop, just beer, wine and whisky...

Looking at AltRev's wonderful Visual Art for this psychedelic and experimental piece one might think: Was my answer honest?

Once again he has found the essence of the music through his own art

The Vibration Continues - The Silent Night/Night Silence Videos by AltRev

For anyone interested in what's happening in the Joxfield ProjeX spheres this is yet another moment:
Our favourite Visual Art director Farkas György Antal (aka Alt Rev) has made a wonderful moving picturization of the two-parts Joxfield tune Silent Night/Night Silence, pliably letting the visualities follow the audio movements in a most brilliant way.
We're deeply impressed!

First Joxfield ProjeX Video

On Alternative Revelation's blog
http://axeofthegod.blogspot.com/2009/06/mea-culpa.html
it's possible to find a video of Finally The Beginning And The End Of The End, the last part of Joxfield ProjeX' Picnic suite.
The video artist is Farkas György alias AltRev or A.R. from Hungary and we like how the slowly moving picture follows the ambient music.

Back In Business Again....

Well, sooner or later, as always, vacations comes to an end.
Back in business again...
Checking the net to see if everyone is as sleepy as I.
Do find some nice words/reviews of the three Joxfield Clinical Archives releases:

"Joxfield ProjeX - three albums
Genre: Ambient, Avant-Garde, Electronica

Joxfield ProjeX’s sound constructions may be avant-garde yet they have an accessible appeal for those who are not necessarily familiar with the more “out-there” performances of experimental music. Sound artists Oax and Xan have an involving style of music-making. These are complex compositions that ropes in the listeners. Clinical Archives currently have three very good albums by these interesting musicians.

Bits and Pieces #1-13 are short vignettes. While existing independently from each other, their sum make up a coherent suite of sounds. Aside from the various electronic manipulation, the duo uses samplings of spoken word by Guillaume Apollinaire, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, James Joyce, Allen Ginsberg, William S Burroughs & Ezra Pound.

Picnic is based on a single drone work created in 2007. However the artists added samples, rhythms, and various effect to develop this set of seven “variations”. Again, we have an experimental work that is interesting, a bit challenging yet entertaining.

The newest album, Virtual Dreams and Realities, consists of two extended compositions. The title work is a sampler’s paradise mixing everything from bird sounds to sneezes. “New August Sense Of Ease And Pain” is off-the-mainstream electronic dance. These two tracks amuses and entertain. This is the Joxfield ProjeX album I would recommend the novice listener to this style of music to start with."

Btw:
Free Album Galore is a most interesting, quality-thinking site with direct links to free and legal downloads of mostly very, very interesting music of all kinds. Been familiar to them for a couple of years and it doesn't hurt at all finding Joxfield being recommended there.
Appreciated!
