track "straight life" is probably my favourite in quite a
while

out

thank you for replying this thread hehehe, at least i get
some interest in my threads :)

seriously, this jelinek guy is fantastic, for someone to
improvise live and put an album like this out is just
amazing
it sounds a little surprising (cant find a better word haha)
on the first listen, but when i listened to it for the
second time, i totaly got into it-it is kind of
minimalistic, but beautifuly put together
on certain moments it kind of reminds me of autechre's
music, but his sound is much warmer

supreme:if i remember you were promoting scape a while ago,
that was the first time i heard about jelinek actually, and
also bunch of other scape stuff

jan jelinek is one of the best artists at the moment imo. i
got his farben - starbox, amazing stuff!

i havent heard the album with computer soup yet though, i
will soon enough for sure.

have you listened to jan jelinek's loop-finding-jazz-records
album. it's a 10/10.

you seem to be a scape fan, so check out system's album.

the computer soup album is wicked... Jelinek is easily one
of the finest producers in the game right now... the thought
of a new release makes me salivate...

Yes it's in my current top ten. I love the opening track -
it took me at least ten listens to realize that all the
obvious sounds were just an anchor for the micro rattles,
hisses, pops and scratches - and not in the usual IDM way
either. There's such depth to that track... but you need
good equipment and good ears to hear it all.

yes, sounds very minimalistic, but such nice compositions
btw, for those that are into jelinek and dont know label
called "static discos" yet, i totally recommend you to check
it out
i've just got their compilation/sampler and its
beautiful...so far i only knew murcof

only this two releases + martes available so far)...and its

excellent

Sydney-based jazz trio Triosk and Jan Jelinek from Berlin
have opened up a common equation. In musical terms, their
joint album "1+3+1" does not make 5, but only one thing:
sense. And the title reflects their production method:
Jelinek mails selected samples and textures to Australia,
Triosk use these as a basis for composition and recording,
the enhanced material then returns to Berlin for Jelinek to
finalise. But the mileage covered does not become audible.
In fact, the origin of their music seems to be tied to the
moment of synchrony, in this case "four different
instruments multiplied by four different approaches make one
sense", irrespective of causal or temporal
interdependencies. This might make "Triosk meets Jan
Jelinek" an alliance in entangled space (analogous to
quantum physics), but it is the rarely audible magic of a
resourceful crystalline musicality which fills the album
with sophistication and clarity.

Triosk and Jan Jelinek play together with eerie assurance
and emphatic sensibility. An important feature of their
music is the synchrony of events. Seemingly loose ends of
separate figures join in a clear train of thought, conveying
information not in succession, but simultaneously. In
return, the listener is free to leave this complex world of
sound and decide by himself to follow the bass line, piano
or vibraphone, to to concentrate on drum patterns or decrypt
electronic textures. Archetypal, dissolving jazz elements
correspond to repetitive patterns not known to the genre,
electronics and acoustics circle each other but remain
conjoined. A double helix begins to form, a musical strand
of DNA whose individual elements, taken by themselves, might
not make sense. But in the right place and order, read out
in their entirety, they define not only life itself, but (in
their sequences) also its individual features.

Two years ago Laurence Pike (24, drums), Adrian Klumpes (24,
piano) and Ben Waples (22, double bass) formed Triosk to
create a seamless connection between acoust

between acoustic and electronic elements. Unsurprisingly,
there are strong references to the Bill Evans Trio, as this
pianist (deceased in 1980) set out to redefine the roles of
a classical jazz trio, declaring drums and double bass equal
lead instruments to the piano. Triosk take this further by
playing with jazz-untypical approaches to composition,
drawing on the structures and textures of minimalism and
electronic music. When it comes to electronic production
processes they are most interested in how sounds and ideas
can overlap, reaching a highly organic interplay that is
remarkably similar to the improvisation with other
musicians. It was more or less by chance that Triosk came
across the works of Jan Jelinek: again the principle of
synchrony, of significant chance, seemed to play a major
role.

Pike was recording electronic music of the radio to collect
samples for Triosk. The most suitable loops, the basis of
some early compositions, turned out to hail from Jelinek's
album "Loop-finding Jazz Records". This again was based on
countless of samples taken from old jazz records. When
Jelinek was touring Australia in 2001, they met for the very
first time after a concert in Sydney. Jelinek was
enthusiastic about other artists using his music in this way
and, after getting to know the trio and their music,
suggested a joint project with new material assembled
especially for the album "1+3+1". Maybe geographical
circumstances have something to do with the fact that
Jelinek and Triosk approach a similar musical task from
completely different directions as we all know, water drains
off the other way Down Under, too.

Gerstenberg. The Berlin-based illustrator first came to
attention with his architectural fantasies and mazy
cityscapes in black and white. His wall murals adorn Berlin
clubs as well as Mecklenburgian castles. Winner of countless
awards and exhibitions in Istanbul, Reykjavik, Berlin and
Cologne.
