Autumn Wind

Description

The sonorous, luminous and inspired poetry of one of the best guitarists of his generation. Let's let Scott DuBois introduce his new project: My idea for this album: to use three different quartets to create a conversation between contemporary classical composition and modern jazz improvisation with the general theme of autumn. I first composed twelve pieces for my jazz quartet, recording them in Copenhagen. Later, in New York, I composed, conducted and recorded works for classical string quartets to be superimposed over the previously captured jazz performances. The first piece is for a guitar solo. An instrument is added to each subsequent track, culminating in a finale with twelve musicians in which a series of twelve notes structures the entire composition. Other compositional techniques I used include random, minimalist and serialized rhythms, pitched and dynamic. I always focused on beautiful melodies and harmonies, suggested to me by the changes of the autumn season. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE Bill Frisell, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Vijay Iyer, Julian Lage, David Binney, Ambrose Akinmusire, Gilad Hekselman, etc.
