Following soon after Ginte Preisaite’s debut for the label, this long player from Vincent Yuen Ruiz is a grand departure from Preisaite’s experimental electroacoustic pop compositions, instead offering an elegant and pensive suite of late-night, wide-eyed ambient jazz works centred on piano, double bass and percussion; “I seek a dramaturgy of restraint, where silence, space, and collective attention become structural elements of the music.” (Yuen Ruiz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally forming in Copenhagen in 2019, the group's language sits at the crossroads of contemporary jazz, improvised music, and experimental sound practice and deploys a non-hierarchical collective approach. Taking harmonic cues from Bach and Ravel but expanded into a dialogue between players that is repetitive, spacious and informed by minimalism as much as ECM chamber styles, the resultant four pieces move between precise formal structural rules and spontaneous improvisation.

To borrow a quote regarding the hard to classify music of Czech duo Irena \u0026amp; Vojtěch Havlovi, this interplay strikes at times like the shadows contrasting with the light. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eMore intimate than Yuen Ruiz’s Le seul salut que je connaisse (2021), an album recorded with a 6-musicians ensemble, this latest album Trio continues the composer’s research and moves towards a more focused, condensed writing style and a clear statement of intent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnders Vestergaard - Drums\u003cbr\u003eRasmus Kjær - Piano\u003cbr\u003eVincent Yuen Ruiz - Double Bass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded by Thomas Vang at The Village Recording in Vanløse\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Valentin Liechti\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Rashad Becker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign by Natal Zaks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade with the support of Koda Kultur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diskono Records NYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46773303115975,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/9322\/2343\/files\/front_0b229f36-c5b3-4102-a7af-81b230e5f8e2.jpg?v=1783899589","url":"https:\/\/diskono.com\/products\/vincent-yuen-ruiz-trio-lp-felt","provider":"Diskono Records NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
