Linus + Økland/Van Heertum/Zach: Light As Never

Read "Light As Never" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Belgian duo Linus—Ruben Machtelinckx, guitar and banjo; Thomas Jillings, saxophone and clarinet—have been recording with additional musicians for several years. This grouping is the largest they have gathered together and revisits the one from the album Mono No Aware (Aspen Edities, 2017). It is rich instrumentation, expanded by Machtelinckx's additional baritone guitar, Jillings' synthesizer and Niels Van Heertum's trumpet (along with his usual euphonium). Nils Økland sticks with Hardanger fiddle and Ingar Zach again provides percussion. The program's ...

Huntsville + Yuka Honda, Nels Cline, Darin Gray, Glenn Kotche.: Bow Shoulder

Read "Bow Shoulder" reviewed by John Eyles


Bow Shoulder is the first Huntsville release since Pond back in March 2016. Surprisingly, it was recorded in Chicago in June 2010 and not mixed until January 2019 and April 2020. Just as surprising—maybe less so, given the album's personnel credits—is that the Chicago recording took place at the Loft, the studio and rehearsal space of the rock combo Wilco. The group's guitarist Nels Cline and drummer Glenn Kotche had previously recorded live with Huntsville at the 2007 Kongsberg jazz ...

MUTA: Bricolage

Read "Bricolage" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Quite the collective, MUTA makes soundscapes from a cooperative effort that is nearly solo-free. That is, the trio of flautist Alessandra Rombolà, electric harpist Rhodri Davies and percussionist Ingar Zach set aside any individual ambition on Bricolage, to create a consistent and cogent statement. Formed in 2003, the players have one previous release, Yesterday Night You Were Sleeping At My Place (Sofa, 2007). Their approach of slowly building upon minimal sounds, drones, and altered pitches occupies the field ...

Ingar Zach - Ivar Grydeland: Visiting Ants

Read "Visiting Ants" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Norwegian improvising musicians drummer Ingar Zach and electric guitarist Ivar Grydeland engage in some acerbic, scrappy dialogue throughout these free-style exchanges. Here, the music expands and contracts amid the duo's abundance of abbreviated motifs. With “Sofamiliar," the drummer conjures up steely-edged sounds via his arsenal of cymbals, while on “First Visit," the guitarist's discordant phraseology complements Zach's polyrhythmic blitz. Grydeland also pursues a series of diametrically opposed angles, largely due to intermittent injections of succinctly stated chord developments, windswept EFX ...

French-Norwegian quartet Dans les arbres create robust, improvised labyrinths of acoustic sound that emphasize texture, space, and dream-like contemplation. With titles such as “La Somnolence,” “L’Indifférence,” and “Le Détachement,” the group’s ECM debut—released in Europe in 2009 and this month in the US – explores the liminal spaces between sleep and consciousness, alienation and engagement, subject and object, stillness and movement. ANW caught up with percussionist Ingar Zach—who along with multi-instrumentalist Ivar Grydeland runs the SOFA imprint—to ask a few ...
