Well versed in the art of collaboration, his new record is his first solo undertaking, combining his jazz musicianship with his affinity for the off-kilter and electronically manipulated. Comprising of seven original compositions, as well as creative reinterpretations of pieces by Charlie Haden, Duke Ellington, and Hans Henrik Ley\/Jannik Hastrup, the record is a collection of intimate, interactive duo performances decorated with sounds and textures from the electronic world. The record's title translates to 'four eyes', a double-entendre alluding to the album's duo approach, under four eyes so to speak, as well as to the fact that de Waal wears glasses. Making a conscious effort to collaborate with more female instrumentalists as well as musicians de Waal hadn't played with before, 'Fire Øjne' features a wide spectrum of organic instrumental timbres on the prepared piano, clarinet, saxophone, pedal steel guitar, and bass flute. From sung melodies and winding improvisations to spacious, experimental textural approaches, each piece sees de Waal engage in a private conversation with a musician he's admired. From the bluesy New Orleans feel of Ellington's 'Limbo Jazz', to the glitchy, menacing, avant-garde groove of 'Halvfirs Fems', to the spacious, twinkling, ethereal 'Diskurs', the album showcases the staggering breadth of the drummer's influences and ideas. Programmed drum beats, vast reverbs, foley recordings of flowing water, and ricocheting delays craft an expansive, surprising and inventive context for improvised music in the 21st Century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"April","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50454672048459,"sku":"2205265","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454671425867,"sku":"2205250","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_5043fcfe_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727185469"},{"product_id":"mikroklima","title":"Mikroklima","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo of Denmark's most celebrated musicians in multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren and drummer Emil de Waal present their fourth collaborative album - expanding on their growing reputation for crafting songs and sounds with masterful senses of subtlety, narrative and capacity to form meaningful connections with their collaborators and audiences alike. Emil de Waal has been one of Denmark's leading drummers for three decades, best known for his work leading the band Kalaha and his collaborations with Elith 'Nulle' Nykjær, as well as performing alongside most of the finest names in modern Scandinavian jazz. Gustaf Ljunggren initially studied the saxophone at the Rhythmic Conservatory of Copenhagen, where whispers spread throughout the school that he was the best saxophone player in town and yet never practiced. His career has seen him prove that he can bring grace, musicality and heart to any instrument he touches, from the pedal steel guitar, to the bass, piano, and more. 'Mikroklima' is a testament to and celebration of musical growth, community, and the joy of musical gathering. One element that truly sets this album apart, is the bold move of inviting a group of 12 year old school children from a music class into the studio to record alongside Gustaf and Emil. Drawing from years of experience leading music workshops with young musicians, on Mikroklima Ljunggren and de Waal wanted to capture the sound of musicians from different generations and experiences coming together to contribute their ideas to their compositions.  'Mikroklima' is an organic, generous offering that shows Gustaf Ljunggren and Emil de Waal doing what they do best: connecting with music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"April","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51183202009419,"sku":"2242321","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51183201616203,"sku":"2242310","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_239dc488_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1738261453"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/emil-de-waal.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
