  • Vol. I

    SIG003

    Artist: Textil

    Label: Signals

    After a year of work in their subterranean studio on Nørrebro textil now steps out into the light with their debut album Vol. I. More than 30 hours of spontaneously composed music have been boiled down to 45 minutes, now released on signals.

    Textil – vol. I is acoustic and collective composition in the moment – research on the edge where everything can and may happen.

    From its moment of birth the trio has been fascinated with and animated by the sense of freedom which the trio’s classical constellation of instruments conveys. the music is created intuitively and with an open mind. this does not mean, however, that the music is without focus or form. On the contrary the trio strives for the unity of trinity. Textil is focused on avoiding the trap of free music – the chaotic – and seeks always to weave the musical threads together with an awareness of part and whole. In this way the textiles from which the trio takes its name are created.

    Textil, formed in a bunker on Nørrebro in Copenhagen in October 2005, are: Albert Raft (saxophones and clarinet), Anders Provis (drums and cymbals) and Kasper Lysemose (double bass and loops). The members of Textil are known from several other bands such as Ventilator, Band of the Universe, Riis/Lysemose/Agha and Mike H.

    Textil wishes the listener a thrilling musical experience with Vol I. In the meantime the trio goes underground again to work on the follow up. Information about this work in progress can be obtained at www.mysp...
