Our new album presents new music composed by band leaders Susanna Lindeborg and Per Anders Nilsson. The music consists of fixed compositions, loose structures, and electronic backgrounds. A point of departure is to integrate acoustic and electronic instruments, where influences from a variety of genres and traditions are present, such as free improvisation, avant-garde and experimental music, electro acoustic music, minimalism, as well as electronica and ambient music. However, the music always starts from and is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. A conscious artistic choice is to challenge the classic jazz rhythm section. Au lieu a human bass player, the bass part is performed by a virtual electronic bass player that plays either fixed figures and/or bass lines created in real time by pre-programmed algorithms, implemented on an Octatrack sampler/sequencer and a Nord Lead A1. Signs and Symbols was released April 26 2024, and is available as CD and digital. Link: https://www.naxosdirect.se/labels/lj-records-420
