Trunk 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Unreleased until now, this UK-Norway collaboration between John Surman and Karin Krog documents a lost 2013 project exploring the line between jazz improvisation and abstract electronic composition. Originally conceived as the score for a grand open-air performance, the music lay dormant for over a decade before resurfacing-uncompromising, shapeshifting, and thrillingly raw. 'Mutual Capacitance' and 'Electrostatic Couplings' swirl with distorted reeds and ring-modulated voice, recalling the synthetic freedom of Annette Peacock's 'Pony' years. 'R (1)' and 'R (2)' unfold like scrambled system diagnostics, while 'Inductive Crosstalk' and 'Propagation Delay' distort clarinet drones into digital fog. Krog's vocals warp through vocoders and granular filters on 'Compression Splice', lending the record its uncanny emotional pull. Improvised, processed, and patched together with an eye on both Dada and data, this is experimental music with a punk-jazz heart-unfinished business finally brought to light.
