As part of a brand new project, Michal and Klára present their own compositions in combination with unpredictable improvisation. The duo's music ranges from poignant and straightforwardly melodic songs to picturesque soundscapes and wild rhythmic rampages. Together, the two musicians explore the possibilities of combining saxophone and double bass and experiment with the references of different musical traditions and their combinations. Master Oogway Håvard Nordberg Funderud / guitar Lauritz Heitmann Skeidsvoll / saxophone Martin Heggli Mellem / drums Karl Erik Horndalsveen / bass Norwegian quartet Master Oogway are touring Europe presenting all new music as well as music from their latest release ‘A Lot of Music About Everything’! During the last few years Master Oogway has worked extensively with their music in a live format. The quartet has invited different guest musicians, composed and improvised new music in several different aesthetics and directions. This way Master Oogway has evolved from being a jazz/rock band to an ever changing and creative phenomenon. The live format is where Master Oogway’s music comes most alive, and this is the spirit they brought into Athletic Sound studio during the recording sessions of A Lot of Music About Everything. This album has become Master Oogway’s most gnarly, loudest and dirtiest album so far! |
