Albums
Des Trucs Pareils
Label: Neuklang
Distribution in France: Codaex
Release date: September 01, 2011
With its third album, the big band (14 musicians) continues its quest for the creation of a variety of original genres; for modernity and maturity. In his new compostions, Fred Maurin favors a poetic musical architecture and contrasts, highlighting the links between jazz and popular music on the one hand and contempory music on the other. In this ongoing research, Ping Machine enjoys pushing the rules : melodic and harmonic explorations, use of spectral techniques of writing, microtonal or serial development, confrontations of blocks of sound, interweaving of writing and improvisations, in order to project the listener into real image sequences, a sound conducive to create an escape from the predictable.
