Album Description

Oslo - 4th of June 2023. Triad Records releases a new album by Ludum titled “Dialectic”. Ludum is a Norwegian improvisational and experimental piano/drum duo, which consists of pianist Eivind Stordal and drummer Mats Monstad. Dialectic resides at the vortex where multiple ideas meet. The album feels like a piece of New York SOHO amidst an open Norwegian mountain range. It is avantgarde with a touch of the 60s. It embraces modernist and progressive tendencies as it transgresses traditional form. Dramatically akin to scenes in a play, it transports the listener on a journey from the jazz club, to the dance hall, and through mysterious jungles. The album is a non-verbal conversation between fluid lyrical elements, mathematical systems, and even social, and political contemplations through overlaying speeches. The tracks Traveling Tom and Seven Eleven use old public domain speeches by American poet Robert Frost and Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. After listening to the album from A to Z, the listener will be left with a rich and rewarding experience. All compositions of Dialectic are made by Ludum. The release is available digitally on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon, and Apple Music, as well as most other popular streaming services. We are planning a physical release on vinyl in the fall.
