Stefan Pasborg - Ritual Dances - Stravinsky arranged for jazz big band

Danish drummer/composer Stefan Pasborg grew up in a household of ballet dancers, allowing him to have an intimate relationship with their lifestyle and performances. One of his first formative musical experiences was witnessing a performance of Igor Stravinsky’s legendary ballet, The Rite of Spring, by The Danish Royal Ballet. The experience embedded a love for Stravinsky’s work that has manifested in Pasborg’s new recording, Ritual Dances. Even though his compositions were seen as dangerously revolutionary when they premiered, Igor Stravinsky’s music has inspired listeners for generations. His many works have become part of the canon for many philharmonic orchestras but are still presented in more challenging programs. Stravinsky was a key figure in avant-garde symphonic writing, but it was his ballets, The Rite of Spring, The Firebird, and Petrushka, that solidified his legend. The Rite of Spring and The Firebird were the two ballets that inspired Pasborg to reinterpret the Stravinsky’s work for a jazz big band. Ritual Dances takes music from these two works as a basis for Pasborg’s re-structuring. The pieces are heard performed by two large ensembles: the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra on two live cuts and Blood Sweat Drum+Bass for the complete studio recording. The bands are augmented by a number of soloists and electronic musicians.

WhoMadeWho - UUUU Einige Jahre ist es nun her, dass WhoMadeWho mit ihrer eigenen Relevanz rangen: Die große Indietronic-Zeit ist Mitte der 2010er längst vorbei, die Helden dieser Ära verschwinden reihenweise oder sehen sich still und leise anderweitig um.

A Conversation with WhoMadeWho The band show that passion and love go hand in hand with creativity and a good time.

Miami, FL- On a windy night in Southern Florida, sandwiched gently in a prime-time slot between two known acts arrived WhoMadeWho: drummer Tomas Barfod, vocalist/bassist Tomas Høffding and guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg. The set started quietly enough, with patrons in the audience not quite familiar with the trio, but drawn like a moth to a flame. Within the little under 45 minute set, the band had a buzz that circled that a game of Telephone within the crowd, and a mass of pure dancing that is hardly seen anywhere except old fashioned, UV neon rave clubs. The kind where smiles slowly grew, feet moved, and bodies became souls dancing their cares away.

This is the kind of power WhoMadeWho have, and they wield it well. The group fit into funk, rock, disco, pop and dance slots perfectly, and show a fun, creativity and love for what they do that isn’t just fantastic, but utterly contagious, and possibly the reason why once you hear them, they will forever be a part of your collection. In a small conversation with us, the band cover electronic music, influences and how they’d still like to be 70 years old and still making those raves happen.

10 years in as a band how does everything feel reflecting back, especially how much electronic music has progressed? Tomas Barfod: It feels amazing to be honest. It’s funny how we’ve been a band for quite a while now and we kind of had a lot of fun the first two years, it’s like we’re back to the original spirits now. We’re having a great time, and have never felt better. It’s a good excuse to keep on growing all the time, through all these years. It’s like, we’ve never had a huge breakthrough [or a phase] of just solid, building fame, and we feel blessed. We’re just looking forward to this new album.

There’s been a resurgence of electronic music especially around your area, do you feel the publicity there has been better covered there or in the US? TB: Actually, America is such a different market from Europe so what goes over here is completely something else. But in general, it’s really exciting what’s happening in the states. Since EDM kind of started a lot of underground things versus people in the states weren’t used to raving when we started. It was like more rock, hip-hop, country. Now a lot more people are more up for partying, raving and clubbing and I think that’s great. I love [that] energy, because it’s a new energy and it’s exciting for people to discover new electronic music. A lot of new, great electronic music is coming out of America now.

Do you miss the Kraftwerk days where it was more minimal or do you prefer the grander scale like Ultra Music Festival? TB: I went once to Ultra and it was really stressful for me. (Laughs) I just didn’t connect to this kind of partying, I think it’s fun to watch on Instagram. I know DJ Carnage, I made a track with him and follow him on Instagram, his feed is insane! So I like seeing it but I think it’s a bit too much over there, I like the more underground parties.

What might be a surprise influence, especially coming from a more rock background? Tomas Høffding: I’m super inspired by Bruce Springsteen these days, hugely inspired. And you can’t hear it at all because my voice is so eugh. Jeppe Kjellberg: I’m tripping over Leonard Cohen at the moment for his lyrics, I really enjoy that.

In music composition, do you feel the lyrics are just as important to the music or is it vice versa? TH: The funny thing with our band is we started so instrumental, so clubby and so physical. I think in the beginning, the dogma was that the lyrics kinda shouldn’t make sense, it should just be a weird trip. So you didn’t hang your hat on what the song was about, you should just listen to the beat. The words were almost like phonetics. Funny story, a lot of the lyrics from the first album, I had surgery on my vocal chords so I couldn’t speak for months. We just wrote the words down, and me and Jeppe were just mumbling the words. But one more, like Springsteen and Leonard Cohen stuff, me and Jeppe are songwriters and I think lyrics are more and more important. We’ve been on a travel from this… Weird, expressionistic mumbo jumbo to more and more songs about stuff, and there’s an interesting development. Maybe the next album is going to be total nonsense again! (Laughs) So lyrics are important but to be honest, I guess we’re the kind of band where even though it might start with words, music and the physicality, the transcendence and the psychedelic vibe of the music, is the most important.

How is your “Double or Die” (the band’s motto of doubling the fan size with every new album) going? TB: I think after we tripled everything, it’s hard to keep on doing it so now we’re not as strict with that policy. JK: But we have to grow all the time. TH: I think it’s so hard for a band to have a huge success and then you have smaller numbers, smaller crowds, smaller… And it’s like, we feel that we never really nailed the albums. It’s like “Aw yeah! We’re getting better and better all the time!”, and I think it’s a great energy to work with. I think the double or die thing happened after the first album because we just started out as a side project. “Yeah! Let’s meet, let’s play some fucking music.” We did that, and it was so easy. And then we got lazy maybe at a point, and maybe we thought we were so cool but we weren’t. And so we really made this vow that we should take ourselves serious, and we did. And we grew a lot. I think this vibe stayed with us ever since that we’re very careful not to lean back and say yeah, it’s working, let’s keep it that way. We’re always developing. Sometimes that’s a bad thing but it’s mainly a good thing.

And do you think social media has helped it, or made it more difficult because there’s so many outlets? TB: I thank the internet, actually. Our videos have spread all over the world and if we didn’t have YouTube or blogs, we wouldn’t have, for instance, a huge following in Mexico. Because we had no label in Mexico, nothing. We came there, played our first concert, it was 1,500 people. Then we played a big tent at a huge festival with, I don’t know, 20,000 people raving. And we’d never been to Mexico before, we had never released anything there, just via the internet. So in general, social media is great. We’re not super skilled at it, but it’s great for us to interact with the fans and we really enjoy getting messages and feedback.

What would be your advice to new bands? TB: First of all, it’s so important to be unique. There’s so much like, produced music at the moment where you know, there’s a thing [becoming a hit] and there’s like 10,000 underground DJ’s doing the same thing, and I think that sucks. I think that’s why it’s hard for people to get through. When we started, we started playing as a band in the night clubs and we were maybe one of the first ones doing it, except a few others. So we were just an instrumental band getting booked all over Europe within half a year after the first release. Because we had something new to offer. so keep on offering new stuff, I think that’s important.

And in 10 more years, where would you like to be as a band? TB: I think what’s going to happen as a band in 10 years is, because we have a lot of love for each other, we might not tour as much as we are now. But we will tour to be together, to have fun- TH: I have this dream… ‘I have a dream’. I’m thinking of being like, 60 or 70 years old, playing this music for young people: dancing, going crazy, that would be so amazing. I think it’s doable. I think the way rock music works, it’s changing all the time. It’s easy to be 30 and have cool band, and have people dancing. And if you’re fucking 65, 70, you can have a cool band and have people dancing. I mean, no comparison whatsoever but I just went to see Rolling Stones for the first time in my life, and it’s just these old guys, and everybody’s still going crazy! I would love to do that. I think that would be a definite plan A for my side. If we could keep evolving… But on the live side, I’ve never played with such an outfit as exciting as this, and I’ve played with so many bands, and it’s still fun. It’s even more fun than in the beginning. I think that, if you still keep that travel, that discovery… To make it short, in 30 years, I would still love to do this.

And we hope to raving along with them. WhoMadeWho can be found here http://whomadewhoband.com -Jenelle DeGuzman

Adana Twins team up with L.A. director Katja Deferkiel to produce an unforgettably cinematic music video for their latest single ‘Relentless’, featuring vocals from Jeppe Kjellberg. 

Katja captures the Mojave Desert in epic style, using wide camera shots and visual effects for a vivid and striking music video that adds a whole new dimension to ‘Relentless’.

‘Relentless’ features brooding synths and percussion next to Jeppe’s heart-felt performance – something that Katja embraced to create the music video: “I decided to shoot in a remote part of the Mojave Desert, on ancient Indian Land with Volcanoes, sheer endless roads and dramatic light because this landscape for me reflects the feeling of longing and loneliness I hear in the song.”

German born but based in Los Angeles, Katia Deferkiel’s vivid cinematography perfectly combines with Adana Twin’s sultry sound and Jeppe’s commanding vocal performance to create a mesmerizing package that is primed for success not just on the dance floor but beyond too.

On teaming up with Jeppe Kjellberg and Katia Deferkiel, Adana Twins comment: “Working with Jeppe Kjellberg from WhoMadeWho was a pretty cool experience! His voice is simply amazing and we’re more than happy. It was a lucky coincidence that our good friend and director Katja Federkiel from Los Angeles loved the song as much as we do!”
