Amalgam:

" Akjai is an improvising quartet incorporating two vocalists and a string trio. The group’s unique instrumentation lends itself to exploration of strange timbres, textures, and orchestrations. This recording documents a first meeting in which they explore musical worlds ranging from 20th century classical music, to art song, to free jazz, with text by Brianna Tong, Octavia Butler, and RA Washington. Akjai is slated for release in November on Amalgam.

Chi Away will comprise recordings of three separate small ensembles made over the course of a few months, culminating in a series of album releases on the Chicago record label Amalgam. The project was awarded the New Music USA Creator Development fund in 2021.

The groups are new collaborations, made up of musicians from the Chicago area. The assemblies include musicians from a wide array of musical backgrounds, ranging from classical to jazz to country to experimental to punk. Included in the fray are Ishmael Ali, Allen Moore, Bill Harris, N.W. Long, Wills McKenna, Brianna Tong, Johanna Brock, and Andrew Scott Young.

Thematically, the goal of the project as a whole is catharsis—reflecting on our
individual experiences as well as the role of community during the past year in isolation. The music will simultaneously embody release, reflection, beginning."

Harris and Ali had often worked together, but they were both attracted by Kimmel’s clarinet playing. At the same time, all three of them had become interested in complementing their work with electronics in a new project. Listening back to that recording from November of 2019 I can hear three players testing the waters within a new context and new tools. The musicians clearly had a rapport, rapidly finding disparate points of connection as they created pieces marked by a clear linear thrust. But the process felt more important than any sort of destination.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eVivary was recorded about ten months later, but the duration felt much longer, as the Coronavirus pandemic had turned the world upside down. Ali had moved to New York the previous August, but due partly to the pandemic he returned to Chicago back in May of 2020. After a summer of inactivity they decided to get tested, quarantine, and booked a cabin in Whitehall, Michigan for a week. “This session was a huge release to work on music again with other human beings after months of only working in isolation,”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e says Ali. This hothouse atmosphere allowed them to dig into the music with a new focus.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe music on Vivary captures a much different approach, balancing a research-like exploration and a refined understanding of how to arrange elusive sounds in real-time. On the opening piece “Sett,” for example, the trio almost stacks its sounds vertically. There is movement, but it’s within a deliciously narrow space, as if the musicians are looking for all of the ways they can stack a series of acoustic and electronic objects using ever-shifting densities, angles, and energies. It’s fascinating to experience such a kinetic, jagged improvised sound and simultaneously surrender to its spell. “Ranarium” layers astringent, shape-shifting electronic tones complemented and pierced by extended techniques from Harris, leaving the listener to wonder if the sounds are emanating from a percussive sphere, or if the shimmering tones are simply swallowing everything in their path.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I like to think of this group more as a way to work on ideas rather than having a sound concept in mind,” says Kimmel, and that refusal to settle into any particular method keeps things surprising for both the musicians and the listener. All of them were figuring out new ways of playing, not just together, but through new tools. When they made A Pound of Salt, Ali had only been playing the cello for eleven months, but his growth is remarkable enough that he hardly touched the guitar on the new recording. Each musician deployed different electronics: Harris uses a Microkorg; Kimmel accents the tonal purity of his clarinet with a series of effects pedals and an FM synthesizer; and Ali plays through software he designed himself. The blend of acoustic and electronics is especially compelling, whether the collisions are disorienting or whether one enhances the other, sometimes at once.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Kimmel.Ali.Harris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Amalgam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-05-14T12:21:16+09:00","created_at":"2023-05-14T12:06:54+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["amalgam","cd","jazz"],"price":168000,"price_min":168000,"price_max":168000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44233648177402,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Kimmel.Ali.Harris \/\/ Vivary CD","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":168000,"weight":90,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi1_720c5f8f-8a4c-44ac-8105-6734702da856.jpg?v=1684033616","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi2_5b9f2f4d-ac64-405b-b015-a67444c8b729.jpg?v=1684033616"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi1_720c5f8f-8a4c-44ac-8105-6734702da856.jpg?v=1684033616","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":31969122779386,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi1_720c5f8f-8a4c-44ac-8105-6734702da856.jpg?v=1684033616"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi1_720c5f8f-8a4c-44ac-8105-6734702da856.jpg?v=1684033616","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":31969122812154,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi2_5b9f2f4d-ac64-405b-b015-a67444c8b729.jpg?v=1684033616"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vi2_5b9f2f4d-ac64-405b-b015-a67444c8b729.jpg?v=1684033616","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・シカゴの地下ジャズレーベル\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmalgam諸作を入荷しました。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e本作は、シカゴのジャズ演奏家\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJeff KimmelとIshmael Ali、\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBill Harrisが、2021年に100部限定でリリースした共作CDです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eクラリネットとチェロ、ドラムによるフリージャズ11曲を収録。DLコード付属。デジパック仕様です。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeff Kimmel - Clarinet, electronics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIshmael Ali - Cello, guitar, electronics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBill Harris - Drums, microkorg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3040937935\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/mlgm\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/mlgm\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/mlgm\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/mlgm\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Amalgam releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code.\u003cspan\u003e Edition of 100.

The resulting documentation, An Ill-Fitting Garment, focuses on acoustic interplay, often resulting in acousmatic moments which obfuscate who is making which sound. Individually, Wallace's ability to pull almost any sound from his prepared piano matches well with Harris's percussive textures, and Berman and Ali find common ground in pitched and harmonic material that can at times quickly displace in to textures nudging towards synth and electronic sounds. The quartet will celebrate the release of this record on February 18 at Constellation, sharing the evening with Lia Kohl and Macie Stewart.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e++\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eJosh Berman is an internationally recognized cornetist and composer.

The resulting documentation, An Ill-Fitting Garment, focuses on acoustic interplay, often resulting in acousmatic moments which obfuscate who is making which sound. Individually, Wallace's ability to pull almost any sound from his prepared piano matches well with Harris's percussive textures, and Berman and Ali find common ground in pitched and harmonic material that can at times quickly displace in to textures nudging towards synth and electronic sounds.

Ulher’s extended trumpet with its grainy clicks and multiphonics, Genetti’s abstract vocals with its wordless utterances and and Leonardson’s self-built “Springboard” with its bowed reverberations explore an atmosphere of expressive relationships of sound and silence; deep resonances, subtle microtones, splitting sounds, rough textures and shimmering multiphonics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirgit Ulher is a Hamburg-based musician who is focused on extending the sounding possibilities of the trumpet.

All three are seasoned performers in their own right — each bringing their distinct palettes in combination to create an improvised music with the microtonal and textural characteristics of sound. Ulher’s extended trumpet with its grainy clicks and multiphonics, Genetti’s abstract vocals with its wordless utterances and and Leonardson’s self-built “Springboard” with its bowed reverberations explore an atmosphere of expressive relationships of sound and silence; deep resonances, subtle microtones, splitting sounds, rough textures and shimmering multiphonics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirgit Ulher is a Hamburg-based musician who is focused on extending the sounding possibilities of the trumpet.

Her practice is grounded in free improvisation, with a desire to unlock subconscious ideas and unintended intentions. Her vocal palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She has performed with many improvising musicians, including Birgit Ulher, Eric Leonardson, Peter Maunu, Olivia Block and many others. Most recent recordings include a duet with Claire Rousay \"Live at Elastic Arts\" (Astral Spirits) and a collaborative release with visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson “Chyme\" (Suppedaneum).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEric Leonardson, a Chicago-based audio artist, serves as President of the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology, and President of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology.
