As usual, when I listen to a disc,
I pay attention to all the musicians, involved in.
So, in the last months,
when, I was listen to the last David Sylvian album (Slow Borne
Sorrow),
I was attracted by a
misterious trumpet player, named (as I read in the "micro" notes,
inside
that disc) Arve Henriksen (www.arvehenriksen.no/).
After some research on the web I
buy his last album, called "Chiaroscuro", an italian words, meaning
"light and shade"
People.....this week-end I fall in
love with this album, playing it over and over in my CD
player. Arve is an explorative musician: he
plays is trumpet thinking to voice and sings thinking to his
trumpet,
there's a lot of research in this
direction, generating interesting sounds and effects. Sometimes, his trumpet
remind me
Jon Hassel; sometimes Chet Baker;
sometimes N. P. Molvaer; soometimes it reminds me just ancient sounds, birds,
winds.....
It's in a sort of ambient style,
with ethnic percussions sometimes, and.... last but not the least:
there is a lot of looping
(expecially used for harmonizations) . I'm sure there is someone on this
list, knowing this guy....
Maybe you, Per, have you ever heard
him ?
I'm surely interested in your
opinion...
For those who don't know
him, I strongly raccomend it !
