Ergo
Born:
Ergo's music is one of stark melodic beauty, enveloping electro-acoustic texture and empathic imagination. In attempts to describe their sound critics have compared them to music as diverse as Duke Ellington, Autechre, Sigur Ros, Sun Ra, and King Crimson. In 2003, trombonist and composer Brett Sroka began exploring beyond his Jazz background and became fascinated with electronic music, surrounding himself with synthesizers and software. As he sought to reconcile the six hundred years of technology between trombone and computer he also found, in keyboardist Carl Maguire and drummer Shawn Baltazor, musicians of similarly elastic and adventurous temperaments

Ergo: As subtle as tomorrow
by Vic Albani
Ritengo la Cuneiform una delle migliori e intelligenti etichette musicali esistenti poiché, lavorando su territori spesso assai diversi fra loro, riesce regolarmente a evidenziare new forms e ricerche di spessore in molti lavori di artisti celebrati o meno. È il caso di questi Ergo (che hanno anche un sito che si chiama ergo ...
Ergo: As subtle as tomorrow
by Glenn Astarita
The premise for this album is based on a succinct Emily Dickenson poem, As Subtle as Tomorrow with the verse allocated to the individual track titles. Subtle is an adjective that parallels the trio's chief mode of operations. The band's muse is nestled somewhere within an existential progressive jazz format, layered with ambient-electronic treatments and hearty ...
Ergo: If Not Inertia
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il terzo disco del gruppo Ergo si muove sul piano di una musica intensa e pensata secondo linee geometriche, incentrate su una grande attenzione al suono. Si capisce sin dal pezzo di apertura, che cresce lungo un asse sommatorio dominato da una sola nota ossessiva, su cui si aggiunge uno strumento alla volta, o quando i ...

Ergo: If Not Inertia
by Glenn Astarita
A few decades ago, it wasn't evident that computers could become an integral component to music, other than some experimental persuasions set forth by the likes of eminent modern jazz trombonist George Lewis, who helped pioneer live electronics. But trombonist Brett Sroka carries the torch, yet in a different or, perhaps, more subtle light. With first-call ...

Ergo: Multitude, Solitude
by Elliott Simon
During the past two decades, electronic music has solidified its initial uneasy alliance with acoustic jazz. Newer releases such as Ergo's Multitude, Solitude are able to get past that original awkward balance and meld electronics with jazz improvisation and instrumental technique. The result is a trio that interacts like one but also accesses the broader sound ...
Ergo: Multitude, Solitude
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nell'immagine in bianco e nero che troviamo stampata sotto al contenitore plastico del CD, campeggia una cuffia appoggiata sopra al rullante di una batteria. Un segnale preciso di come si debba entrare in questo universo musicale in punta di piedi e soprattutto in silenzio. Il trio denominato 'Ergo' parte già con una formazione inconsueta: trombone, tastiere ...
