this tuesday i was listening to radioprogram "jazzlandet" on swedish national radio station p2. i would describe it as an actuality program regarding jazz and associated forms of the music with focus on swedish jazz mostly. tuesdays program was dedicated to playing some "musical highlights in the november darkness" and i enjoyed all the music that was played but there was one track that really stood out.
about fourtyfive minutes into the show märet tells about a song that she's about to play from two norweigans by the name of greta aagre & erik honoré. the key words for me to pay special attention was mentions samples and quirky sounds. as "strangeness" i heard the musical collage that consists of atonal sounds, field recordings, murmur, crackle, cut up musical elements and other sounds. all of this backed up a really deep bass to complement greta aagre's wonderful vocals.
i really like how honoré and aagre sculpted the track with all the random sounds. even though this kind of electronic jazz fusion is far from unique, it's executed brilliantly and this is all that matters.
