One or Several Wolves 42:12

about

Inspired by the writing of Mark Fisher and the imagery and philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, 'One or Several Wolves?' explores the idea of music as activism, a way of imagining and describing a vision of the future a million miles from today’s rising nationalism, plutocracy and neo-fascism.

This is utopian music that travels across borders, deep underground, in search of new connections and possibilities.

This is music that does not recognise convention, hierarchy or genre.

This is improvised music that only happened once and could only have been made now.

It occurred spontaneously and without discussion and is presented as it happened with no editing or additional content added.

Sanders’ percussion and Sharkey’s electronics connect, contrast and intertwine throughout the albums continuous 42-minute narrative structure, creating layers of sound and energy.

Sharkey’s set-up of guitar and electronics, played simultaneously, brings to mind the emotive expression of low-slung, psychedelic rock and jazz-fusion processed through an ultra-modern prism of cutting-edge electronic music heard on labels such as PAN and Orange Milk.

Their relationship throughout the music changes from quick-fire dialogue to simultaneous, multi-layered commentary.
At times Sharkey sets up scenarios for Sanders to explore, vast stages for the master percussionist to interact and engage with astonishing creativity.

'I'm so proud to present this third album with Mark.
This project has grown and developed in such unexpected ways since it began 4 years ago and it continues to be a place where I can push the boundaries of my own abilities and ideas about what music can be'

It's not only great jazz you get from MoonJune, of course. The stable is rich with talent from the forefront of progressive music. This sampler gives two and a half hours of those riches to tempt you into investigating talent you may not have been aware of before. Listen. Enjoy. Peter Jones
