On this second release, the unique improvising quartet Dans Les Arbres continues to fine tune its artistic concept, patiently traversing its luminous planes of sound with a rare sense of accord and shared responsibilities. The combination of its unorthodox sound sources, including Xavier Charles’s clarinet harmonics, Christian Wallumrød’s prepared piano, Ivar Grydeland’s bowed banjo and Ingar Zach’s differentiated gran cassa leads to free playing and spontaneous group composing in a class of its own, resulting in music that unfolds with poetic logic and unhurried pace.

On this second album by the unorthodox quartet comprised of Norwegians Grydeland, Wallumrød and Zach, and Frenchman Charles, the music continues to unfold with poetic logic and unhurried pace. To paraphrase La Monte Young, Dans les arbres draws a straight line and follows it. Their music moves gently but steadily ahead on broad planes of sound, the textural scenery changing as DLA harnesses its wealth of unorthodox extended techniques. Including but not limited to: Charles’ extraordinary control of harmonics, the prepared piano of Wallumrød perfectly matched by the prepared banjo of Grydeland and by Zach’s unprecedented use of the gran cassa, the horizontal orchestral bass drum, augmented here by metal percussion and ceramic bells. Small movements precipitate gradual sonic transformations. Sounds are carefully nurtured and encouraged to glow. Responsibilities are very equally shared as textures are blended.

Dans Les Arbres - Phosphorescence (2017) Music

Posted by Domestos at July 9, 2018

The band’s name – “in the trees” – accurately suggests the soundworld of their previous brace of albums, which were both recorded for ECM. But Phosphorescence moves away from the acoustic, low-key improv aesthetic of their self-titled debut and Canopeé: that music had a lot in common with that of their new label-mates, 1982. Maybe they felt the need to differentiate themselves. More likely they’re just scratching creative itches. All four members pursue a variety of individual and group projects, guitarist Ivar Grydeland and percussionist Ingar Zach together in Huntsville and earlier, alongside clarinetist Xavier Charles, in the improv collective No Spaghetti Edition. Kyboard player Christian Wallumrød, of course, leads the Christian Wallumrød Ensemble. Just picking up where the quartet left off with Canopeé in 2012 would’ve probably been the more contrived move.

Fifteen years of activity for only four albums released: a relatively small output, that of the international quartet Dans les arbres, but published by the best sector labels, with the first two works on ECM (s / t, "Canopée") and a third on Hubro ("Phosphorescence"). And it is now the turn of another Norwegian edition with the Sofa by Ingar Zach - it was only a matter of time, being a member of the formation too -, which gives "Volatil", a live recording made on 16 March 2018 in Bologna, on the occasion of the annual AngelicA contemporary music festival.
