Some Details...
Match & Fuse is an ongoing project, initiated by WorldService Project, of joint adventures in music with bands from across Europe. Based around a residency at the Vortex in London, the bands tour the UK, followed by a return tour of the European country, and the release of a limited edition CD. Each gig sees a set by each band, finishing with a 2-band mash-up.
After the wild ride of match no. 1 with SynKoke through Norway & UK in September, and match no. 2 with Berlin trio, Schulbusin November, matches 3 and 4 are set to go off.
Irish two-horns-no-chords quartet, established by drummer Matt Jacobson in 2007 with the creative and rhythmic specialists Derek Whyte (bass) and Nick Roth (alto sax), and trombonist Colm O'Hara (trombone). The band play all original compositions from Jacobson ("one of Ireland's most exciting young talents" Irish Times) with influences including artists such as Charles Mingus, Steve Coleman, Deerhoof, Phil Ivey and Carnatic music of Southern India. The formula for putting all this together in one palindromical setting is downtown grooves with catchy melodies and collective improvs.
Led by pianist/composer Dave Morecroft, WSPs music speaks through dark, intense building passages, winding through dissonance, complex rhythmic manipulation and extreme dynamics. Other times it draws on the language of 20th Century Classical composers layered over biosterous grooves more commonly found in albums by heavy rock artists.
The result is high-octane experimental, but accessible music with a smile upon its face.
