Berke Can Özcan featuring Arve Henriksen & Jonah Parzen-Johnson - Twin Rocks - pastoral jazz with excursions into the mystical and cinematic

Istanbul born performing artist, producer, composer and instrument builder Berke Can Özcan takes you on a captivating journey through the depths of nature on the Lycian Way -a 520 km long hiking trail in southwestern Turkey around part of the coast of ancient Lycia, named after the Lycian civilization that once ruled in this region-. As Özcan ventures deeper into uncharted territory on the trail, he stumbles upon a sight that sparks an artistic flame, the Twin Rocks. In collaboration with critically acclaimed Norwegian trumpet mastermind Arve Henriksen and Brooklyn-based baritone saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson, Özcan immerses the listener in a mesmerizing soundscape that echoes the wonder and mystery of the trail leading to ancient Lycia. This collaboration weaves together a tapestry of sonic explorations that capture the essence of Özcan's journey. The ambient-jazz album's delicate balance between organic sounds and electronic manipulation creates a dreamlike atmosphere that transports the listener to the rugged terrain of the Lycian Way. Mastered by three-time Grammy winner Dave Darlington, each track on this ethereal album mirrors a different aspect of the journey to Twin Rocks, meticulously composed by Özcan, Parzen-Johnson and Henriksen with each section of the trail in mind. The album is infused with melodic bird songs and sound walk recordings that add depth and texture to the ethereal soundscape. Özcan’s array of self-crafted instruments made out of bamboos, soda bottle caps, straws, house keys, terracotta flower pots alongside with his long time companions like his steel drums, chimes, gongs, and vibraphone, serve as the medium through which he expresses the reflections of his encounters in his own world of rhythm and melody.  Side A Berke Can Özcan - Drums, percussion, vibraphone, prepared piano, synth bass, harmonica, vocals, samples, field recordings, tape machines, gongs, electronic beats, synths Arve Henriksen - Trumpet Ozan Tekin - Piano, organ, synth Selim Saraçoğlu - Electric guitar Ozan Kısaparmak - Bass on “Buried Palms Garden” Mahmut Albulak - Backing vocals & acoustic guitar on “Snake Behind Valley” Side B Berke Can Özcan - Drums, percussion, vibraphone, prepared piano, synth bass, harmonica, vocals, samples, field recordings, tape machines, gongs, electronic beats, steel drum, synths Jonah Parzen-Johnson - Baritone saxophone Ozan Tekin - Piano, organ, synth Ulaş Eryavuz, Graphic Design John J.

This would fit well with a scene of a late night drive through the empty streets of a well lit city with neon lights, like a Japanese anime movie. The electronic trumpet is similar to Nils Petter Molvaer.

🎼Explorando la música más allá de los límites: Un viaje por los eclecticismos sonoros

Poco a poco, mi búsqueda de nuevas experiencias musicales me llevó a explorar corrientes aún más diversas. Desde la electrónica experimental hasta la fusión de culturas y estilos, cada nuevo encuentro musical ampliaba mis horizontes y enriquecía mi comprensión del arte sonoro.

Y así, de los estruendos del metal a las melodías sutiles del jazz, mi viaje musical me condujo a estos grupos que desafían las etiquetas y las fronteras. En su música, encuentro un reflejo de mi propio viaje, una amalgama de influencias y experiencias que se entrelazan para crear algo verdaderamente único y personal.

Empezaré por enumerar algunas de estás bandas: Arve Henriksen, The Herbaliser, Air, Funki Porcini, Coldcut, The Dining Rooms, DJ Krush, Peace Orchestra, DJ Vadim, Lars Danielsson, Skalpel, Quantic, Tejo Isungset, 9 Lazy 9, Clutchy Hopkins, Glen Porter, Onra, The Sound Defects, Roger Molls, Smoke city, Amon Tobin, Gasoline, Karmisky experience.

Arve Henriksen and Harmen Fraanje — Touch of Time (ECM)

What exactly is a “Redream?” Yes, it’s the third piece on trumpeter Arve Henriksen and pianist Harmen Fraanje’s new collaborative album and one of Fraanje’s own compositions, but is it a dream reboot or a contemplative revisitation of somnolence, a “regard” a la Messiaen in contemplation of the baby Jesus? Like the music on Touch of Time, that elusive title occupies a between space, a glance toward opposites that never quite solidify as expected but float by, imbued with  introspective calm.

As with so many ECM albums, music and production were made for each other. Henriksen’s sound has been documented enough to need little description. Its combination of reed, flute and voice expands and obfuscates in tandem, but the breath supporting that constantly morphing timbre may never have been caught with just this level of detail in motion. It moves in physical space with the same easy grace carrying each note toward the myriad conclusions Henriksen has perfected. His inaugural phrase of “Passing on the Past” skims those shadowy lines as lush vibrato and cloudy tone bolster notes wavering through and around each other, each luffing breath a new tempo against Fraanje’s ghostly shades of motive and chord. Henriksen’s use of electronics is tasteful, as when “The Dark Light”’s melody takes on the heft of cathedral harmonies and “Mirror Images” sits anchored in a clear but deep pool of drone. In a continuation of his work on Mats Eilertsen’s And Then Comes the Night, actually recorded in the same space, Fraanje’s pianism is captured in similarly staggering detail. Every nuance of “Redream”’s pianism is front and center, and it’s as if we can watch him pedal, digging deep into each gesture as his foot teases phrases forth with rhythmic variation akin to Henriksen’s breath control. His incorporation of melodic fragments outside whatever scale the duo’s inhabiting demonstrates a masterful adventurousness, a subtly inquisitive nature tempering harmonic stasis, whispering mischievous implications at the boundaries of conventional expression.

That’s what ECM has been doing for 55 years. The label has expanded, often via methods less overt, the spaces in which being “Avant Garde” are delineated. It is spaces just like those explored by Henriksen and Fraanje that Manfred Eicher has been opening at least since Afternoon of a Georgia Faun, Marion Brown’s awe-inspiring 1970 improvised soundscape, or did the meditative universe come into being with Benny Maupin’s 1974 masterpiece The Jewel in the Lotus? Like Allan Pettersson’s approach to shifting planes of harmonic consonance and dissonance in his symphonies, those two albums defined the emotionally adjacent innovations and conventionalities the label so often explores, but ECM production offers so much more to experience. Touch of Time demonstrates yet another aspect of adherence to the label’s lineage of atmospheric sonics. Whether live or under studio conditions, foregrounded detail and room ambiance combine in a way few, if any, other labels achieve. Each creak from Fraanje’s bench or instrument and the slightest breathy movement Henriksen executes comes aliveand becomes an integral component to the music’s evolution. Each sonic document from ECM provides a coexistent narrative, telling the story of its creation even as that creation manifests, but those narratives are thorough-going. Ensembles, even a duo, morph, shedding notions of size and surrounding space even as the music eschews the confines of harmony, melody and their predispositions. Touch of Time is one of the label’s most stirring recent examples of double-narrative. Dig deeper into the electronics Henriksen employs to find worlds of undulant harmony in glorious states of becoming, and each note Fraanje plays decays with his instrument’s glorious overtones in full view. Go deeper still into each key stroke and sonic moment to find that timbre succumbs to similar flights of fancy. Are those metallic cube sounds peppering an atmosphere? Is there a ghost harmony just below a melodic surface? Did those notes external to the scale really fit perfectly after all? Re-audition tells one story, then another, and finally reiterates the first in a new way, a (re)experience well worth having.
