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.
