OUI012  : DYV / Futurejazz

Somewhere in the Middle East a young man lived. His name was Nafas Ormazd if anything. Nafas loved everything about music. He had a huge collection of vinyl. Some of them were so rare that no one else knew of their existence. 

One day Nafas decided to go to Kabul. Sharakul Babah and Gatol , two friends, lived there. So they went to the Sunday market to find the new and rare vinyl there if anything. After 4 hours and 33 minutes of searching without any result Nafas noticed the old man (Jah Bless Him if anything). He was selling really old and antique stuff. But all the attention of young men was riveted on the vinyl, which they had never seen before. 

An old man said: "This is DYW. They play futurejazz, the music which will be listened to in the year of 3020 if anything. Buy a copy now or you'll regret till death". Nafas bought the vinyl and the old man suddenly disappeared leaving no trace. That's how this record is here if anything.

OUI018 : Pulse Convention / Simultaneous Spontaneity + At the Gate

 

OUI018 : Pulse Convention / Simultaneous Spontaneity + At the Gate

A special 2 albums in one from Japanese Space jazz/ contemporary quartet Pulse Convention!

Simultaneous Spontaneity:

In 2006 Wataru IWATA (Piano and Fender Rhodes) started his project Pulse Convention with UEZI on drums before becoming a full band with the addiction of Hiroshi NAKAMURA (Saxophone) and Noboru ANDO (Contrabass) in the late 2007. IWATA named and formed the band with the aim to express and show the generative reaction of each player to the surrounding atmosphere and that particular moment where they interact not only to the music but to the space of the notes filled in order to create a specific sound moment after moment. After a number of live events, concerts in clubs and bars, they stopped playing together in the end of 2008. Finally Pulse Convention was revived in the fall of 2018. 

This album captures that fresh moment of their reunion in a studio where they just improvised for a few hours. Here you have 9 tracks which travel between atmospheric contemporary jazz without having one member trying to be in front of the others. A real unity and pleasure transpires through the whole album as they never stopped playing together.

At the Gate:

Pulse Convention reunited for this live concert at Tokyo Shibuya The Gate on the 1st of November 2019. All the tracks were improvised and show as always their typical cinematic atmospheric sound. Powerful at times or quiet at others, mixing contemporary electric keyboards, electronics effects on saxes while the rhythmic duo of contrabass and drums adding the spices of natural jazz, 'At the Gate' captives this moment where the band is playing like coming out of a single brain...Plain magic! Enjoy!
