Members kriista Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 So I've put the guitar (and drums) down for this project and am playing piano/keyboards. It's a trio of piano, electric (fretless) bass, and drums. Sort of post-jazz meets math-rock meets contemporary classical meets electronics (not on the demo yet). Just put up the webpage yesterday though the group's been going since about last summer. Might be up some people's alleys. http://www.agreaterhorror.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Listening... and I like moments of it... but wtf is post-jazz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Awesome Not the tones I was expecting from the drums or bass, which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kriista Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Post-jazz is weird term. I wouldn't know what to blanketly call it otherwise. There's jazzy elements for sure (some of the harmony and piano/bass/drums), but it's definitely not jazz. Been working on tons of Max/MSP programming lately, which is going to work its way into this project as soon as my patch is ready (nearly there).

Members THeLoveGun Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 First - awesome piano skills K2nd - promising music! keep us posted (too bad UK is quite far where I live.)I've always had an eye out for trios that had no guitarist. The combination of drums + piano tends to present itself as a pleasant surprise more often than not.All the best this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Lovely man. I really enjoyed that. And not in a "hey, it was pretty {censored}ty but I'll throw down the obligatory comment in the thread" way either. I'd love to play in something like this behind a kit. Gahh. Keep recording! I want more tunes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kriista Posted January 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. We've got some real gnarly tunes that we need to record too. These were the two that were easiest to record for this festival application we needed done crunch-time style. It is fun to explore that group type, particularly since none of us are purists when it comes to improv or jazz. Like a "piano trio" is a done done done thing. But not often loud/mathy/superquiet/noisey.The bass player is a wicked ass composer too (contemporary classical) and he's starting to bring some of that {censored} to the writing too, which kicks it up a whole other notch too.

Members deeohgee Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Excellent tunes, good writing and well performed. Reminds me of Evan Lurie / John Medeski (in Zorn mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
