The ethereal chase of audio-logical din, space/time continuances & the purity found within the versatile nooks & crannies of the Jazz genera, give rise to structural recombination within the evolving genres of sound.

Q: With a moniker like “Ambient Landscape”, how can a Jazz series make any sense?

A: When you coin the term “ether-jazz” . . . & keep right on mixing without skipping a beat.

The Trio Morphs into a Quartet
.

‘elements_windows’ began as a trilogy – to be sure. And upon what I thought was completion . . . [there it was: signed, sealed delivered] – the scattered remnants of the project began to cry out for another set.
.

And, ironically, the fourth might just be my favorite within the series. And, if I had to submit just one elements series/mix by which the entire brand would be represented . . . it’d be the ‘windows’ edition.

Re-craft. Rework. Re-vision. Repurpose.
I’m all about tearing it apart & rebuilding from . . . ashes. If I don’t like a mix, the thought of its existence lingers like Morpheus’ “splinter in the mind”. It irritates & annoys – until I reformulate the sequence, add treatments or import different audio components.

Thus 3 begat 4 . . . and [finally] all is well with my universe.

I take my penchant for causticity [weird-guitar sounds, dilapidated saxophone, seemingly off-key piano, & unorthodox compositions] & transmogrify it into nuanced slabs of sound (formerly called ‘mixes’).  What’s intriguing to me is that other folks like them too (@ least that’s what my Dropbox download metrics tell me)!

It (mixes), is almost exclusively the method via which I access my music. I rarely listen to albums, save a new ECM album (Nik Bartsch‘s ‘Awase‘ for example, or the about to be released Sun of Goldfinger). But, as the tracks get moved onto mix projects, I delete them on my phone menu & file the digital album into the ever expanding ethereal catalog.

This Jazz / Ether-Jazz series is slated for release beginning in March, 2019.
