GA Russell Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Trumpeter Arve Henricksen has recorded on a number of ECM albums, including two by Trygve Seim, The Source and Sangam. He has a new album coming out this week called Cartography. Here's the album's lineup: Arve Henriksen: trumpets, voice, field recordings Jan Bang: live sampling, beats, dictaphone, programming Audun Kleive: percussion David Sylvian: voice, samples, programming Helge Sunde: string arrangements, programming Eivind Aarset: guitars Lars Danielsson: double-bass Erik Honoré: synthesizer, samples Arnaud Mercier: treatments Trio Mediaeval: voice sample Vérène Andronikof: vocals Vytas Sonndeckis: vocal arrangement (collective personnel) Thirty years ago this music would have been called experimental. After so much time I don't know if people would still use that term today. It is very atmospheric in the ECM sense. There's a lot of synthesizer. Two tracks include prose readings which I could do without, but other than that I like this album. I can see it generating more sales than most ECM issues, but I don't see its sales challenging the likes of Jarrett, DeJohnette and such. Henricksen will be touring the US next month. So far, these dates have been lined up: June 15th and 17th in Washington DC June 19th in Rochester, NY June 22nd - New York, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
