Interweavement

A Pretty wildly different than Sisyphus (which does not surprise given FQ's apparent intentions). If I imagine the two to be the same person, Sisyphus is the result of a dark broodiness internalized, while Interweavement externalizes it all—it sits in the corner watching, smoking, judging; occasionally severe, occasionally tongue-in-cheek.

Let's have coffee some time.

about

There are several theories of the Origin of the Universe. According to one of them, our world is just a simulation created by an advanced civilization. Our creators have a strong rational mind, but a creative mind does not work so well, so humanity was invented to be creative. The creators look at us through the glass.
In all countries and eras with cultural stagnation, major cataclysms invariably began, bringing desolation and death. Modern humanity lives in the paradigm of endless cultural self-copying, not trying to create something new, walking the beaten path. Creative channels became filled with identical content, and we already feel the wrath of the creators.
This album is our attempt to demonstrate that human creativity has not been exhausted yet, our attempt to postpone the next great cataclysm which will be generated by the cultural asphyxia of our society. But that is not for sure...

I'm happy that others have taken up the noir jazz flag put up so splendidly by Bohren & der Club of Gore and Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. Unlike the rubato feel of those groups, Trigg & Gusset offer a steadier backbeat - are the drums programmed? - and weave in electronics, reminding me of, say, Kruder & Dorfmeister gone dark and brooding. Whatever the recipe is, the results are lovely, especially the string textures. fyeahmetal
