New Video: First Ocean | Jorn Swart & Malnoia
Malnoia, an unorthodox trio led by pianist Jorn Swart that mixes jazz and chamber music, presents their new album Hello Future. Drawing on science-fiction film and literature, each track is accompanied by an original short story. Through colorful compositions, emotive improvisations, and the unique combination of piano, viola, and bass clarinet, the album explores what it means to be human in a technological age. This debut single , "First Ocean," utilizes impressionistic elements to evoke images with lower ostinatos beneath gently floating melodies, and features both a bass clarinet and piano solo.
Personnel:
Jorn Swart - piano / composition
Benni von Gutzeit - viola
Lucas Pino bass clarinet
