contraphonic press release...

never enough hope is the brainchild of chicago-based composer/improviser tobin summerfield.

summerfield's most notorious work has come with chicago's crush kill destroy, and detroit-based larval (cuneiform records). as an active member on the chicago free music scene as well, summerfield regularly plays alongside folks such as frank rosaly, aram shelton, jaimie branch, keefe jackson, fred lonberg-holm, and many others. his aesthetic employs the entire spectrum of the diverse groups he contributes to, moving from the collective voice of rock, post-rock and punk; new york no wave minimalist/maximalist extremes; joyful big band theatricality; highly orchestrated new music soundscapes; and powerful, dense, freewheeling improvised music to lush, thick polytonal/polyrhythmic textures.

never enough hope is the synthesis of summerfield's outlook: the emotional immediacy of free music matched and balanced by the satisfaction derived from great composed music. the gift economy, never enough hope's contraphonic debut, is born of summerfield's desire to harness all these experiences into one unit. utilizing both rock and free-music idioms into the orchestration, which takes shape in the form of a 20-piece ensemble featuring scores of saxophones, vibraphones, and violins, mingling with guitar, bass, trumpets, and dual drum kits, it's in the precise voicing of every individual instrument that gives never enough hope its weight.

summerfield composes with each member of the ensemble in mind--player, improviser, and composer--all their unique voices represented. the musicians in never enough hope are summerfield's peers, heroes and teachers. the songs and experiences that inspire the pieces featured on the gift economy are born of its constituents. never enough hope is like a family reunion, and an all-star team.

october 2009 release ; debut from the duo of marielle “darwinsbitch” jakobsons and agnes szelag, working with a veritable orchestra of bay-area players (aram shelton, ben bracken, phil greenlief, etc) ...

drone-heavy pieces laced with eastern-european folk idioms & the odd electro-acoustic and/or free-improv element ; quite nice !!!

ace030: myrmyr "the amber sea" cd

myrmyr is the duo of agnes szelag and marielle jakobsons (aka darwinsbitch). they create electroacoustic songs on many instruments such as violin, cello, voice, bass, gezhong, piano, and accordian. when those instruments aren't enough, they invite friends to play with them and write scores for conducted improvisations. their scores are often conceptually or process-driven, resulting in their unique style of electroacoustic music, reminiscent of scandinavian free folk, lullabies, dramatic film scores, and electronic improvised music.

"the amber sea" is their debut album and is the story of amber, inspired by the mythology, baltic folklore, and geology of this magical gem. the album traces the story of how amber is created, with material from intimate lullabies and free form ballads to epic orchestral oceans.

a whole host of guest musicians populate the world of "the amber sea" playing instruments ranging from trombone, clarinets, vibraphone, flutes, harmonium, voice and more. it's an absolute collective effort.

on cortez
locust 40
cd

dragons 1976 is the chicago horn-bass-drum trio of aram shelton. jason ajemian & tim daisy. cool, steady and swinging, on cortez is a perfect tonic for the modern jazz lover in search of a shady retreat from the hot coals of fiery free jazz. these boys make a catchy, flavorful music - let’s call it noir jazz.

dragons 1976 turn more corners with their brand of infectiously tight grooves and cinematic twists than a screen gems tornado roaring through the heart of downtown los angeles.
