Lullaby for the Distance

by 1010 Ensemble

supported by

Joe Buck Roberts I am so excited for this one! 1010 Ensemble are so intuitive and engaged. It's always a delight to hear musicians who surrender to (and transcend) the moment. They lock in and share the space, both physical and metaphysical. Don't miss this one.

about

The sessions for Lullaby for the Distance began towards the end of 2018 and stopped mid 2020 as Covid-19 ended 1010 Ensemble's improvisational sessions.

These 4 pieces showcase the wonderful, intuitive talents of two exceptional artists pushing each other's boundaries like a couple of seasoned pugilists; the free form piano's cosmic vamping against the driving rhythm offers a wonderful counterpoint eventually syncing in to explore a celestial motif.

The confluence of Matt Norman's rhapsodic but lilting, melodic piano lines combined with Kraig Ludensky's responsive and tribal percussion and brushed drum strokes creates a wonderfully chaotic and evocative soundtrack.

Matt Norman and Kraig Ludensky met by a chance encounter and, after a brief discussion, believed their diverse tastes in music could, perhaps, create a potent elixir for reflection, joy and madness.

Matt Norman – piano; A self-taught player living in Austin, TX has played up and down the West Coast over the years with the elders of the free and Avant-garde music scene. Matt has engaged audiences with his unique sound, embracing the spiritual, lyrical and mystical elements of modern music, while celebrating the explorations of the past.

Kraig Ludensky – percussion; lives in Austin, TX. Kraig has performed with musicians and dancers from a wide range of genres in the United States, India, Europe and Japan. Kraig’s has studied music in India, Japan and the United States.

Beautiful, beautiful album! Makes me think of all the great 60s psych folk releases but with a modern edge and originality. Exceptional and unique and important. adammajdeckijanicki
