about

On the album, I gather several parts of myself: me as a composer, music ethnologist, jazz pianist and church organist. I use my understanding of Balinese gamelan in the compositions, and my background in experimental jazz is clear throughout the album, both in the form of improvisation and sounds outside the instruments' most common use. The horn players are fantastic improvisers who give themselves fully, Jacob Danielsen, Jens Balder and Jens Kristian Bang with a jazz background, while Anja Nedremo specializes in contempoary music. And then there is the pipe organ. It's wonderful what you can express on that instrument from the mild to the insanely wild.

The press wrote:
"When Olga Witte takes control and the music becomes more composed than improvised, an ensemble of two horns and pipe organ can perform wonders." (Mads Hæsum Christensen, Seismograf, January 2022)
