A small gift for a great Cecil Taylor history.
On 23 April 2016, Jay Sanders organised and recorded a concert whose significance at the time was impossible to estimate. The great Cecil Taylor was accompanied by the wonderful musicians Okkyung Lee, Tony Oxley, Harri Sjostrom and Jackson Krall. After the concert, Cecil announced that it was time to return to the legendary formula he had used several times in his career, which served as an emblem of what was particularly important in his work. Unit, as this name/formula is called, was reserved for the greatest bands in his career. In April 2016, New Unit was born before the eyes of the audience, a new formation that referred to the most glorious periods of its stage history. From stories and witnesses of that event, we know that Cecil Taylor wanted to continue exploring the world of music with his New Unit. However, it turned out that the first concert of the new formation was also its last performance, as well as the last concert in Cecil Taylor’s life. Less than two years later, Cecil was no longer with us. The concert, however, remained preserved in Jay Sanders’ archive, and thanks to his kindness and trust, we can enjoy it today.
NEW RELEASE! SYRENA:RE
Ania Karpowicz x Dominik Strycharski
Anna Karpowicz - flutes
Dominik Strycharski - blockflutes
SYRENA:RE is a concept programme by Ania Karpowicz and Dominik Strycharski for two flutists and tape. It reinvents and recycles musical motifs released on vinyl by the iconic Syrena Rekord label in pre-war Warsaw.
The tape features poignant voices of synagogue cantors, fragments of popular songs, and blended sounds of the Shmul Weinberg orchestra. By using extended techniques and a variety of flutes representing diverse timbres, the artists combine the work of memory with unconstrained improvisation.
“From old, and long forgotten recordings, they capture snippets of musical phrases, weaving them into an intelligent, witty, or moody narrative. The driving force behind the project is the clash of oppositions: the confrontation of two very different artistic personalities, as well as the tension between the analog sound and the music making emerging here and now.”*
SYRENA:RE immerses the listener in a soundscape of a world that has irrevocably vanished by choosing the exposure of flaws and distortions as its creative method. Ania Karpowicz and Dominik Strycharski draw inspiration from the multicultural richness of bygone Warsaw, concurrently opening up the reprocessed archive material for experimentation and unrestrained playfulness.
