Ginsberg's poems and Kerouac and Cassidy's writing are the inspirations behind pianist Camille-Alban Spreng's new project. This time, he invites singer Nina Kortekaas to bring her voice to a music that leads you places you might never have thought of going. On the road.
One listens to the music of Odil's last project, and its leader Camille-Alban Spreng, like one reads a Beat Generation novel. Everything's “normally strange,” nothing's forbidden and everything's got a meaning of its own... for those who stay open to the unexpected. Enticing and disconcerting – even obsessive – this project mixes disciplines spanning from jazz to rock, including electro (through psychedelic layers) and prog-rock. Nothing's out of bounds, especially not the poetry chanted by Nina Kortekaas's spectral voice. Saxes both reassuring and disturbing, together with delayed percussions, deliver a fully mastered rhythmic and harmonic fabric. If, at times, it feels like walking of shifting sands, the ensemble lays landmarks that make the journey ever more exciting as we tread along. And, eventually, make us fully soaked by this psychotropic jazz.
