Belgian artist
BRAM DE LOOZE is pleased to share new single 'Dream Box’, taken from his
forthcoming solo album 'Colour Talk', released 21st February via Sdban Ultra.
Exquisitely linking baroque, avant garde and highly-refined jazz improvisation,
Bram uses a Werckmeister III, which is a 17th century non-equal tuning system,
and it brings a different sensation and an additional emotional layer to the
sound of the music. It makes it possible to explore different colours of
intervals and harmonies beyond the usual equal tuning system. “After my ears
have been adapting to it for a couple of years now, and I can feel the impact
it has on my music. Dream Box is an example of how it makes me take different
directions in writing and improvising,” says Bram. STREAM HERE
Plunging into
the depths of sinuous musical structures, Bram De Looze is a talented young
jazz musician who evokes contrasting moods that harmoniously follow on from one
another. The Belgian pianist and composer’s distinct musical vision has found its
way through both solo projects and collaborations. His unique technical skill
and musical maturity have earned him considerable critical acclaim back home as
his work spotlights his far-ranging interests – from traditional classical
piano music to jazz and solo improvisations that have often been compared to
Keith Jarrett and Jason Moran.
On ‘Colour
Talk’, what you hear is a musician who has freed himself from stylistic
constraints and limitations. While still rooted in jazz, classical music and
free improvisation have found a new balance, a coexistence that enables the
pianist to express himself with a new vigour. Switching between shorter pieces
that feel like curious, unresolved puzzles and more extended explorations,
‘Colour Talk’ is once again an ode to (re)invention in the grey zone were the
classical idiom and improvisatory urges meet, with the 13-minute tour-de-force
of ‘Hypnosis’ as one of several undisputed highlights.
