Oax Pick - Coltrane's Impressions



Re-buying stuff on vinyl? Crazy, but I do it and I love it. It's like re-opening doors, coming in to rooms you haven't being visiting for a while. Here's John Coltrane's "Impressions" (Impulse A-42), a classic masterpiece as with so many others of his records. The addition of Eric Dolphy's bass-clarinette on the opener "India" - wow!!!

Oax Pick - Keith Tippett's Ark



Being a fan of King Crimson as well as Canterburians like Soft Machine and such in the early 70's you also came across the magnificant piano player Keith Tippett. His freely floating fingers, atonal gestures fascinated.

When realising he had released some albums with his Keith Tippett Group we just had to check 'em up. "Dedicated to You, but You Weren't Listening' was great and from that one the step into Centipede's "Septober Energy" wasn't long. Four side-long tracks, a short-lived 50-piece big-band of jazz-freejazz-rock. It became an aural classic.

Please, don't ask me to explain it, but for reasons I actually don't know the "follow up" to Centipede, Keith Tippett's Ark and their album "Frames - Music for an Imaginary Film", became a hidden treasure which I discovered last year. Released on Ogun Records in 1978 (OGD 003/004), also four side-long tracks, also a big band, 20 musicians, jazz-freejazz, composed as well as improvised, well-known players like Elton Dean, Peter Kowald and Julie Tippett etc, as well as for me unknown musicians. It's an amazing album and even though it really annoys me that I didn't discover it until reasently it also makes me happy to find out there still are some unheard true tresures left. It brings light into the life of a addictional music lover.
For you who hates vinyl I think it's also realeased on CD

Changes, changes, all these changes...

For all of you devotees who cares about the really important stuff in life, like what's happening to the infamous Joxfield ProjeX, this is something for you:
A while ago MySpace made a new design of all their sites. Yes, that also included the infamous little combo as well.
As a result of that extreme make-over there was some useful links that disappeared from the front pages of our sites.
So, if you urge for reaching our various musical spheres just follow the links below.
And don't forget our beloved, befriended hero brothers Ambient DarkWhite.


www.myspace.com/joxfieldprojex
Our main source, the place for the most recent stuff


www.myspace.com/joxfieldprojexambient
Our space for ambient music and other related stuff, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.


www.myspace.com/joxfieldprojexvoice
We're not much of singers, but this is the place for some of our vocal music, maybe the most commercial side of Joxfield. Or not.


www.myspace.com/joxfieldprojexancient
Once our space for old stuff, but since long it has been the space for our side projex and since very long it's the same bits n pieces filling the player.


www.myspace.com/ambientdarkwhite
This is the place for the mysterious, cult, hero brothers Ambient DarkWhite. Not too much happens on this site, but when it does, be sure to be there because it's interesting. The world stops, everyone attend: "What's in the air today? Ohh, I can feel it, there must be some new Ambient DarkWhite music around!!!"

Hypnotic Was Up - Out now on Clinical Archives (ca432)





Nevermind what day it is - it's not a joke.
Today is the day of the release of "Hypnotic Wash Up", Joxfield ProjeX new (well...) album at Clinical Archives.

Download it for nothing at
http://www.clinicalarchives.spyw.com/
or
http://www.archive.org/details/ca432_jp

Release info:
“While standing in my kitchen doing the wash up and listening in my ghetto-blaster to the Majestic Pattern City Revisited Evolution suite from the Joxfield ProjeX very strict limited self-release album ‘The Pond Intermezzo’ (2006) I realized how goddamn good it was and that these tracks deserved being properly released. The album was originally printed in about 20 copies which mostly were given away to some of our friends. Very few copies were sold for almost nothing. The story of the suite: For the TPI sessions Yan had made a hypnotic, long pattern to which I made a 20 minutes long guitar improvisation. Due to too many wrong notes it was re-recorded once. There was more guitar terror and even more wrong notes. There was also a short, recorded sung melody. Then Yan locked himself into his room for a couple of months, re-worked the recorded music, picked up some themes from the solos, developed it, mixed it, split it, added the treated vocal parts, added some other freaky vocal parts and finally presented what’s heard here. Maybe it’s a bit accessible to have the suite split into eight parts, but the true reason was Yan’s then car stereo which refused to play too long songs, it had to be split into parts.”
(Oax)

Joxfield ProjeX is a genre-free duo of Oax and Yan.
Oax: Guitars, vocal
Yan: Keyboards, programming, director

Cover art by The Dynamic Duo
Production, sounds & visions by Joxfield ProjeX

The Vegetable Man Project Vol 6


Vegetable Man-Effervescent Elephant Medley

Almost forgotten about this... The story:
During the early days of our extended MySpace career we became friends with nice fellows Airwaves, a Swedish combo playing some friendly pop music. Maybe not the music we play ourself, but nevermind, they're kind people.
Once Patrik Arvidsson, the guitarplayer of Airwaves, asked us for some collaboration. The Airwaves gals and guys had a fascination for Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd stuff and should participate on a Vegetable Man tribute album (Volume 6) with their version of Vegetable Man (connected with Effervescent Elephant).
In 2007, at the end of our "Numbers & Letters" sessions we took up the tune.
We were asked to add something after the guitar solo at 1.59 minutes ("but don't touch anything before that"), so, at 1.59 we threw out every original file of the tune except the drums and Sussie's vocals, entered Yan's fat keyboard chords and my kind-of-tribute-to-David-Gilmour's-ca-1971-playing guitar. With a good mix, great mastering and re-entery of the nice (is it?) dobro sliding it all becoame a nice piece of joint music (?!?!). The artists name used was AirwavesJoxfield.

ThanX Patrik for initiative and a believe in us playing pop music.

Somewhere there probably is an album and if you find it you can buy it, it has its moments. Enjoy!
