New Haven
Improvisers Collective
Interference
Avant
Progressive Chamber Punk Jazz!
Interference is the debut CD from the New Haven Improvisers
Collective. NHIC is a far-reaching collective of
creative musicians forming into a particular group to play particular
music in a particular moment. NHIC is interaction, conflict, and
harmony.
The musicians come from jazz, rock, classical, English folk and various
experimental backgrounds. The music comes from everywhere. It
grooves, it skronks, it's
quiet, it's raucous, it reaches for the sublime and it digs in the
dirt.
Comparisons are difficult, but it might be said to suggest the Art
Ensemble of Chicago meeting King Crimson for tea with John Zorn pouring.
The CD is a document of a particular night at Firehouse12 when
everything was happening and it was being captured in multitracked
detail.

NHIC
paints
in a sonic form of Cubism that, through invention, fragmentation and
rearrangement of form, simultaneously depicts many surprising, even
revelatory
facets of a piece as it unfolds in real time.

Courant

of the top 10 releases of 2008
