“Eve’s Drop”

Posted by mjohancsik on

if you follow me on social media you will have already seen the news that i’m releasing an album on March 1st! i’m really proud of these tunes and this band, and really excited to share it with the world.

the band on album is: myself on tenor sax; andy king, trumpet; iola patalas, flute and voice; juliette malgrange, cello; marie-fatima rudolf, piano; mathieu mcconnell-enright, bass; michel berthiaume, drums.

it will be available on bandcamp, spotify and all other streaming platforms, and as a CD (yes, they still make those!). you can pre-save it on spotify, or you can purchase the CDs from bandcamp (from March 1) or directly from me by sending me a message using the contact form. we are also playing a show at dièse onze on March 1st!

like many musicians since lockdowns began, i have been exploring the world of producing music at home. some of the results of this exploration can be heard on the oops kitchen’s apocalypse radio soundcloud (you can listen from the beginning and hear our progression as we get better at home recording/production – or listen in reverse and hear us get more and more lo-fi). as a way of challenging myself both to learn a new side of the music-making process and to write more music, i’ve decided to start a project of writing, recording, and producing/mixing songs at home, with the idea that they will all be kind of mini-songs that don’t need to have traditional forms or pre-conceived arrangements.

without further ado, here is the first one! hope you enjoy. you can also check it out on youtube.

“Dance of the Sundog” video is out!

Please enjoy this first video of the “Breakglass Sessions” series, featuring some of my tunes played by my quartet and septet! This one features Marie Fatima Rudolf on Rhodes, Mathieu McConnell-Enright on bass, and Guillaume Pilote on drums.

I wrote this tune a few years ago inspired by a hearing a rhythm (the 3+2+2+3+2 figure you can hear at the ends of the A sections and during the interludes/outro) in a Kočani Orkestar tune and thinking it was just a very cool way of dividing up a measure of 12/8. I’ll be releasing these videos weekly for the next little while so stay tuned! Also, once all the videos are released, the music will be available on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms!

recorded at Breakglass Studio by Milo Johnson, filmed by Nick Jewell, and mastered by Jon Kaspy. thanks also to Will Bennett for guidance on the mixing.

This project is funded in part by FACTOR, the Government of Canada and Canada’s private radio broadcasters.
