about

OWL72 - 43 minutes 5 parts. Bass, saxophone, theremin, drum machine, effects pedals and more combine for an improvised doom jazz ambient noise set from Prague in January, with an extra dark ambient drone remix.

I was invited to jam with Surfin' Bazooka and here are the results. This was a live improvised collaboration, and in fact I had only met Willhelm (of Uncle Grasha's Flying Circus / Blind Ruler Cursed Land) once before, and shook hands with Štěpán to meet for the first time just a few minutes before we did a quick soundcheck!

A great experience, and, yes, this is very much a live recording sound for sure, but I am really pleased to have got a document from the evening of our doomjazznoise collab. There will be more in the future.

Part of this is available on an upcoming Surfin' Bazooka tape release, which you can pre-order here: surfinbazooka.bandcamp.com/album/retribution-angels-ep

Recorded just with a Zoom H1N placed at the side of the stage.

Part 5 is an Owl remix of the 4 minute soundcheck the three of us had, and includes a bit of a theremin & noise track that Wilhelm Grasslich sent me just before the gig.

Here is a 5 minute video from the set, which is also available in the download. Thank you to Blanka Kissová for filming:
