Elias Stemeseder / Christian Lillinger: Umbra II
by John Sharpe
Austrian pianist Elias Stemeseder and German drummer Christian Lillinger capture the Zeitgeist in a nervy, occasionally anxiety inducing, pairing under the moniker Umbra. Although extant as a duet, they often supplement the numbers with like-minded collaborators, and on Umbra II trumpeter Peter Evans and bassist Russell Hall take to the full on interaction like ducks to water. Unlike their debut recording, this time out they swear off the electronics for an all acoustic outing, although, truth be told, such is ...

by Mike Jurkovic
Warning! Warning! Heads up! Spoiler alert! Server Farm has the potential to take your head to some random places. Some alarming (as all artists should be these days), Some cacophonous. Some claustrophobic. Others freeing, fleeting, fervent. Server Farm, saxophonist/composer Jon Irabagon's heatedly precise and prescient head-on clash with the threat of AI blisters the binary codes and algorithms of the connected world (which makes us all individual heads of the Hydra) both surgically and haphazardly, letting it all ...

by Libero Farnè
The list I have compiled does not follow any order of preference. The albums are organized alphabetically by artist. In my opinion, every album on this list is of great interest. I decided to include a few U.S. albums, though I had to leave out many other deserving ones, as well as three Italian albums that I believe deserve greater international recognition.

by Libero Farnè

Ho deciso di selezionare alcuni album statunitensi, ma ne ho sacrificati molti altri molto meritevoli, e tre album italiani che ritengo meritevoli di maggiore notorietà internazionale. Gato Barbieri Standards Lost and Found 1 Red Records ...

Biennale Musica 2024: Absolute Music Venezia Varie sedi 26 settembre--11 ottobre 2024 La direzione artistica di Lucia Ronchetti, giunta all'ultimo anno del suo mandato, non finisce di stupire. “Absolute music" è la denominazione del 68° Festival Internazionale di Musica Contemporanea, che, come si legge sul catalogo, intende affrontare ..."il significato della musica quale linguaggio autonomo e lo statuto ontologico del suono, mostrando lo stato dell'arte di questa disciplina alchemica e coinvolgente, entrando nel laboratorio dei ...

by Glenn Astarita
Imagine a musical universe where jazz's avant-garde explorers join forces with the precision of Swiss watchmakers. In this paradoxical realm, the Stemeseder Lillinger Quartet thrives, crafting intricate sonic tapestries that defy conventional melodic structures. At the helm of this audacious ensemble are Elias Stemeseder (piano) and Christian Lillinger (drums), two maverick minds whose collaborative chemistry could power a small city. The Quartet features Russell Hall (bass) and Peter Evans (trumpet), crafting a complex and intriguing follow-up album with Umbra II. ...
