Now here's a fun little treat!
A new collab album by Haggari Nakashe & gaop.
It's been on repeat at RZRHQ since we got the master files, happy days indeed.
This one is a bit of everything thrown into the lab, a tad of jazz, ambient, drone, beats, noise, a very good listen.
A word from the artists:
Synth & Sax for the Elderly, a collaboration between gaop and Haggari Nakashe, paying homage to our ancestors via noisy drones, sax abuse and a few beats. Inspired by life itself.
We're thrilled to present In and Out of Town by gaop. A wonderfully tiny EP that is as beautiful as it's ominous.
It's a fun gem that dives headfirst into Eastern European traditional folk music, breaking the mold to study the pieces and rebuild it in a new, inspired way.
'In and Out of Town' is an exploration of Slavic and Balkan folk motifs via via the prism of avantgarde jazz, film scores, and improvised free music.
In these six tracks, clocking just under seven and a half minutes, this EP utilizes traditional Ukrainian wooden flutes, clarinet, recorders and sax to paint a multitrack picture that's can be both familiar and distant.
The woodwind sounds of this release can be eerie at times, or even haunting, but not deep under the experimental nature of this release, lie the sounds of home.
