The Jazz of Shapes to Come, by gaop

 We're super excited to present The Jazz of Shapes to Come, a brand new gaop album.

It's a celebration of electro-acoustic pianos, woodwind instruments, bells and tape recorder hiss sounds.

While the title obviously references the Coleman masterpiece, The Jazz of Shapes to Come is a different take on free jazz or avant-garde, with an approach that's more mellow, rooted equally in ambient as it is with musical giants such as Art Ensemble of Chicago.

The album is available on most streaming platforms, purchase via BandCamp and is do for a limited physical release in the future.

This release is another one in gaop's experimental celebrations of post-jazz and post-classical sounds, via a mesmerizing dark ambient, a contrast to his harsh noise releases but not venturing far from "noise" in general, it might be more user friendly, but the color palette is the same. The feedback, the humming drones hiding in the background, those are dead giveaways. The album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of sounds that delve into the depths of
