21+ BYOB
The latest release from Jakob Heinemann, Opacity finds the composer/improviser/bassist in quartet formation, working from a book of pieces developed over the course of a year of performing, writing and rehearsing with the group. For this project, Heinemann has developed a flexible system of notation that allows the music to breathe and sway, untethered to a rhythmic grid, set with impressionistic harmonies and a keen awareness of space and stillness. The compositions are at times collaged with field recordings, group improvisation, and foley sounds, creating a wide palette of colors that blend together to create a unique sonic environment. Recorded in August 2022, Heinemann is joined by Molly Jones on flutes, Jeff Kimmel on clarinet, and Ishmael Ali on cello for this release.
