Info zu Tremors in the Static

Neues Projekt des Kontrabassisten und Komponisten Milo Fitzpatrick, Gründungsmitglied des Portico Quartetts, der auch schon mit Musikern wie Nick Mulvey und Jono McCleary aufgetreten ist. Mit dem Saxophonisten Jordan Smart (Mammal Hands, Sunda Arc) bildet er ein kraftvolles Duo, das zwei charismatische Musiker zusammenbringt. Das Projekt, das seinen Namen von Carl Sagans Science-Fiction-Roman "Contact" hat (ein Buch über Signale von neuem Leben, das im Wega-System entdeckt wurde), wurde aus dem Wunsch heraus geboren, die Elemente Bass und Melodie in ihrer rohesten Form in den Vordergrund zu stellen, und Fitzpatrick erklärt, dass er sich bewusst für einen zurückhaltenden Ansatz entschieden hat.

Vega Trails

Vega Trails
is the expansive, cinematic, chamber-jazz project from double-bassist and composer Milo Fitzpatrick, a founder member of Portico Quartet and features saxophonist Jordan Smart (Mammal Hands, Sunda Arc).

Having cut 2022’s beautifully resonant debut album ‘Tremors in the Static’ as a duo, Milo now substantially expands upon that blueprint with his follow-up, ‘Sierra Tracks’, which, as the title suggests, was conceived at his new home in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains north-west of Madrid.

From the epic five-minute opener, ‘Largo’, onwards, there’s a cinematic feel to ‘Sierra Tracks’, as each piece unfolds according to its own sweeping narrative, often wonderfully evocative of the mountains’ wide-open spaces, and also sometimes elaborately arranged with cello, orchestral strings, vibraphone and piano, to evoke their awe-inspiring natural splendour. ‘Reverie’ has a refrain that fades in and out, like a daydream”. ‘Els’ is more firmly rooted in folk melody, while ‘Dream House’ and ‘Sleepwalk Tokyo’ boost a sense of otherworldliness.
