A-Force (!Kaboogie)

The band play all original compositions from Jacobson (“one of Ireland’s most exciting young talents” – the Irish Times) with influences including artists such as Charles Mingus, Steve Coleman, Deerhoof and Phil Ivey. The formula for putting all this together in one palindromical setting is downtown grooves with catchy melodies and collective improvs.

After a stop-start two years while Matt was studying for his MA in Music Performance in Lucerne, Switzerland, followed by a 6-week journey to South India to study the region’s traditional Carnatic music, ReDiviDeR are now hitting the ground running. Recent performance highlights include supporting Chris Potter’s Underground (“…easily the most compelling saxaphonist of his generation” – Detroit Press) at the Galway Jazz Festival 2010, representing Ireland at the 12 Points! Festival 2011 (“…a fine, fly set with a solid sense of style and direction” – Laurence Mackin, The Irish Times) and playing to a packed Triskel Auditorium at the Cork Jazz Festival 2011 where they were also awarded the accolade of “Best Young Irish Band“.

Between them, the members of the band have performed all over the world with some of the most innovative and well-respected musicians out there including Evan Parker, Gilad Atzmon, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Florian Ross and Peter Evans.

This two-horns-no-chords quartet was established by drummer Matt Jacobson in 2007 as a creative outlet for his compositions as well as his somewhat perverse fascination with anagrams. While he failed to find such avid fellow followers of wordplays, he did find and enlist the help of creative and rhythmic specialists Derek Whyte (bass) and Nick Roth (alto sax), with trombonist Colm O’Hara arriving a little later.

Their debut album features all original compositions from Jacobson (“one of Ireland’s most exciting young talents” – the Irish Times) with influences including artists such as Charles Mingus, Steve Coleman, Deerhoof and Phil Ivey. The formula for putting all this together in one palindromical setting is downtown grooves with catchy melodies and collective improvs.

Fotografia is the second album by Italian (Dublin resident) pianist Francesco Turrisi for Diatribe Records.

The album contains original compositions by Turrisi and arrangements of Italian traditional melodies as well as a series of short improvisations on a baroque bass line called “ciaccona” performed here by an exceptional rhythm section comprised of Portuguese drummer Joao Lobo and Danish bass player Claus Kaarsgaard.

is an electronic and vocal track by Misk’i (Eileen Carpio and Dara Smith), with an acoustic reworking by Sean Carpio.

Original piece:

www.diatriberecords.bandcamp.com

Roger Doyle composed this piece for Uilleann Piper Brian O’Huiginn and electronics in 1995. It made a big impression on Daniel Jacobson (Diatribe co-founder) when he first heard it as a teenager in the late 90s. Shotgun-like blasts and industrial machinery rumble under the plaintive cry of the pipes. This really is Irish electronic music! The program notes are “An Image of Ireland Without The Sweet Celtic Wrapping.”

Eomac is Dubliner Ian McDonnell, a musician/composer/producer/DJ, one half of electronica outfit Lakker, and a member of the !Kaboogie team. His piece takes the original, inserts it into a sub-atomic-particle-blender, and then reconstructs it with fresh atoms in a nice, scented, circular, aromatic, deep electronic track.

ZoiD (who produced Diatribe’s first release “… Versus the Jazz Musicians of Ireland Vol 1″) took both Roger’s and Eomac’s compositions as source material, and cut them up with a classical guitar line at a clipping 165 BPM techno romp.
This month Diatribe releases the first in the Cross Discipline Collaboration Series. Roger Doyle, the godfather of Irish electronic music, has generously supplied us with a six and a half minute piece of music – Under the Green Time (1995), and allowed us to have it chopped up and reassembled into new compositions by two past students of Roger’s electro-acoustic music composition class at Trinity.
