That the group of musical gods and spirits that bless a continuation or renewal of the tradition is composed of personages quite different from the usual ones. That the pantheon that always watches over the birth of a new work is an alien one. What is it that we hear?įrom the first note it is clear that something is not as it usually is. Music that can contain both complexity and sensitivity. With ‘Be My Quiet Friend’ Morten Olsen has set out to find a musical stance that is not bound by any conventions. Their new departures and discoveries are in reality discoveries of their own musical personalities. No matter whether it is Miles Davis, György Ligeti or Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, their methods do not get in the way of the music. “I insist that music must seduce me,” he says. It is over ten years since he decided to make a kind of music that finds its very DNA in the uncompromising and complex, but which then permits itself to be produced and recorded so it becomes seductive. As a reaction to the experience of a concert that was “campfire songs, arranged and complicated so they sounded like composition music,” he decided to do the opposite. But it is also a culmination of his work as a composer. Certain passages are entirely improvised, while others were written out in detail.Īnd the triumph is that it is in fact pointless to try to distinguish between the two.įor Morten Olsen ‘Be My Quiet Friend’ is a return to his youth as a fusion musician.
It makes use of improvisation and lets the musicians play “whatever occurs to them,” but has been trimmed, edited and manipu-lated ad infinitum. It took more than ten years to produce, but it is based on moments.
