| Darren Pickering Release - Small Worlds "Volume Two" from New Zealand! Following their acclaimed debut, VOLUME ONE, Darren Pickering Small Worlds continues their investigation of the intersection between cinematic aesthetics and electronic textures within the framework of contemporary jazz. Electronic textures are more prevalent on VOLUME TWO, a set that includes solo piano tracks that employ modular synths and resonators. VOLUME TWO represents a logical progression in Darren's artistic and compositional vision.

We proudly support artists whose primary objective is to make music for themselves and the sake of their art, free from commercial and cultural restraints or limitations. Our focus is instrumental music across a range of genres and styles that loosely traverse the languages and boundaries of jazz, chamber and orchestral music, world music, experimental works and sonic collage, and recordings by creatively adventurous singer-songwriters. RATTLE music is born of open-ended boundary-free creativity, new music for open ears. write your comments about the article :: © 2024 Jazz News :: home page |
