ODG048 : Internal Sun / Internal Sun ( Remastered + Bonus track )

Internal Sun is the audiovisual live project of Andrew ‘Chi’ Claes & Vj Natché. 

Live they create a personal, largely improvised take on the Warp back catalogue and its pioneering sound of hi-tech jazz, the cinematic live acts of Nosaj Thing or Amon Tobin, and the Flying Lotus brand of esoteric instrumental hiphop which created more possibilities for live electronic music performances.

Andrew Claes is most famous for being the sax/ewi/percussionnist/composer of Brzzvll, Stuff and Chaos of the Haunted Spire ( see ORT010, ORT012 and ORT014) among others.

This release is a compilation of his first Ep, single, remixes and a new track.
All the tracks have been remastered especially for this project.
Be ready to party and dance!

ORT015 : The Bureau of Atomic Tourism / Hapax Legomena

Cover Art by Walter Swennen

ORT015 : The Bureau of Atomic Tourism / Hapax Legomena

This new collaboration with Rat records (here) sees the return and third full album from this fantastic sextet (see ORT004 and ORT006) also called simply BOAT. 

The musicians are still the same stars, only for new guitar and bass players.

This time, this new album was recorded live by Dieter Claes and Roel Snellebrand in May 2014.

Edited by Pierre Vervloesem and Teun Verbruggen ( with the help of Richard Comte).

Mixed in April 2015 by Joseph Branciforte in New York City.
Mastered in April 2015 by Nate Wood in New York City.

Produced by Teun Verbruggen.

'Good luck finding an appropriate genre label for Teun Verbruggen’s Bureau Of Atomic Tourism. While the sextet delves headfirst into abstract free improvisation that abandons all conventional takes on musical notions such as melody, harmony and rhythm at one point, you witness them raging like a well-oiled outfit with years of experience the next. The front section of Andrew d’Angelo (alto saxophone, bass clarinet) and Magnus Broo (trumpet) covers the entire stylistic range from muscular solos to extended techniques, and is often joined by guitarist Hilmar Jensson, who makes his instrument sing mysteriously, places poignant accents or rages with an equal eagerness.

Initially the unpredictable improv may sound like an abstract sound poem, but this switches quickly to first dazzling freak-outs in the New York avant-garde tradition or even throbbing fusion with a nod to Miles Davis’ electric era, before ultimately arriving at muscular jazzrock in the vein of The Lounge Lizards and Belgium’s X-Legged Sally, with ultra-tight themes, subtly introduced electronics and turbulent dynamics. And what to think of the unstoppable groove of the Flaten/Verbruggen rhythm section and the musical action painting of Jozef Dumoulin on Fender Rhodes? What could have either been a failed jump into the deep end or a haphazard performance with the handbrakes on, here leads to a powerful achievement, executed with discipline and the will to incorporate the outer edges of improvised music....'

Personnel:

Teun Verbruggen: Drums
Andrew d'Angelo: Sax and Bassclarinet
Nate Wooley : Trumpet

Jozef Dumoulin: Fender Rhodes
Hilmar Jensson: Guitar
Tim Dahl: Bass

The album (RAT034) is already released and on sale on the Rat records website here.

Digital release on Off on the 11th of December 2015.

Track listing:

1: Hilsnur (Hilmar Jensson)
2: Eochnit (Andrew d’Angelo)

ODX003 : Pierre Vervloesem / Pot-Pourri, Vols.1, 2, 3

ODX003 : Pierre Vervloesem / Pot-Pourri, Vols.1, 2, 3

The Pot-Pourri series presents for the first time all the never released music ever composed by Pierre (bio) Vervloesem.
A long time desire on his personal agenda, it took a few months to Pierre to remember, locate and clean the various old K7, tapes and various mp3 he succeeded to find.
It covers all the material he started to record when he was twenty years old up to now.
The songs here are demos, live recordings, unreleased tracks, various ideas and proper fun times.
We have to thank the various fans and friends who were keeping some of those treasures without Pierre knowing, particularly long time friends and occasional collaborators Jean-Pierre Jonckheere (see OPV07), Alain VDS (see OVD012) and Manu Ribot (see OPV004).
Most of all the musicians who played at least once with Pierre can be heard on the tracks and it would be impossible to name all of them ( since Pierre doesn't know for sure who is doing what sometime), but they will probably recognize themselves, notably Richard Belgium (see OPV003) who's singing on a few songs.

This digital box contains OVD013, OVD014 and OVD015 at a bargain price.

Digital release on the 4th of December 2015.
