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.



A few notices.

Artsy modern-musical fun.

Very, very nice music. 
  - Gérard Viols Radiojazz 34, France
 
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.
