Edition Records – Nils Petter Molvær & Richard Spaven
WED, 24 JUNE, 17:00-20:00
Nils Petter Molvær & Richard Spaven
An Edition Records Double album listening session in 360° Spatial Audio
Edition Records x Polygon present two atmospheric and meditative albums from two envelope-pushing artists in a one-off immersive deep listening experience – spatial audio on a powerful, cutting edge sound system.
Norwegian innovator, trumpeter and producer Nils Petter Molvær presents Be Quiet – a duo collaborative album built across nine tracks with nine distinct artists including Imogen Heap and John Paul Jones, recorded in cities spanning Bangkok, Rome, Berlin and London. Across landscapes of electronica, ambient textures and jazz improvisation, Be Quiet unfolds as an intimate, spatial set of recordings – built on proximity and contrast, where different cultures, disciplines and sonic identities meet Moalvær’s unmistakable trumpet voice.
Richard Spaven, the British drummer behind work with Flying Lotus, José James and Jordan Rakei, builds rhythms that sit somewhere between live jazz and broken-beat electronics. He makes music that rewards close attention. At Polygon Portal, Richard Spaven’s album Light Of Day is played back in full, reimagined on one of the world’s best spatial audio systems. The records you know, reshaped to move around you, above you, and through you. Trumpet lines appear in places you didn’t expect, drum patterns open up into the room, and details you’ve never noticed reveal themselves.
You’ll sit inside the music, the way Nils and Richard heard it in their heads. Where you’ll not just hear it, but feel it – creating a powerful connection to the music, the artists and everyone around you in the room.
Two landmark albums, start to finish, the way they were meant to be felt.
