: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: PipÆs new album Possible Worlds consists of a single hour long :,
: piece of subtle and slowly moving music. The long lasting chords :
:' and the mix of electronic and acoustic instruments can bring ':
,: associations to 70Æs pre-ambient works like the duo of Robert :,
: Fripp and Brian Eno, or sound like a slower relative of Terry :
:' RileyÆs synth- and organ escapades from the same era. A major ':
,: influence on the music is the tradition of Indian Dhrupad music, :,
: with its patient and detailed melodic movement of singing or :
:' Rudra-veena against the stable sonority of a tanpura. ':
,: :,
: Possible Worlds is recorded in one entire take without any :
:' overdubs or editing, resulting in an organic real time ':
,: interplay and blend of the sounds. Multiple instruments are :,
: played simultaneously, creating a surprisingly generous and :
:' orchestral sound for a duo. ':
,: :,
: A key aspect of the music is the integration of just intonation. :
:' The piece features four guitars tuned in open and slightly ':
,: differing just intonation chords. The fretless necks of the :,
: guitars also allow for gradual transitions between notes, and :
:' for tonalities unbound by the equal tempered tuning of normal ':
,: guitar frets. The intonation aspect is also present in the :,
: trumpet playing and most of the electronic and synthesized :
:' sounds. ':
,: :,
: The overall musical form and material is composed in a way that :
:' relies somewhat on improvisation. Although Pip has been engaged ':
,: in the improvised field the last years, the improvisation of :,
: Possible Worlds has more in common with improvisation in various :
:' folk traditions, or with the aforementioned Dhrupad music, ':
,: where melodic and harmonic aspects of the sound unfold following :,
: rules of tonal succession and structure. :
:' ':
,: Pip has existed since 2006 and during these years they have gone :,
: through several different stages of development and approaches :
:' to their music. Long lasting, blending sounds with a basis in ':
,: chords and harmony is an ever recurring element in their music. :,
: Pip has toured extensively in Europe. Torstein Lavik Larsen :
:' (trumpet, sampler, synthesizer) and Fredrik Rasten (guitars, ':
,: electronics) are also playing together in the band Oker, :,
: together with Jan Martin Gismervik and Adrian Fiskum Myhr, and :
:' in the quartet Volumes with Magda Mayas and Isak HedtjΣrn. ':
