The Kandinsky Effect
Entry Requirements: All Ages
The Kandinsky Effect – supremely stylish cocktail of jazz fuelled electronics – They are here to deliver their brand new LP Pax 6.
For 10 years, the trio has been refining their approach towards instrumental composition and a direction rooted in modern jazz aesthetics.
The band consist of drummer Caleb Dolister, bassist Gael Petrina and saxophonist Warren Walker.
Their music is multi-textural, adventurous, dark and rhythmic; it can be equally filled with risk and cohesion while navigating atypical time structures.
Petrina and Walker’s appreciation for electronica inspires their methodical use of effect pedals to create lush dimensions of texture, and Dolister’s open admiration of heavier bands like Meshuggah or crossover projects like Jaga Jazzist often influences a rigor and attack in his drumming paired with polyrhythmic complexity.
They recorded this new LP in Chamonix. Spending an entire week living and working at the studio at all hours.
“We’ve definitely evolved, reaching new levels with Pax 6. This is the evolution of 10 years of touring, recording, traveling and living a life realized through the eyes of modernist post jazz realization” says Petrina.
“Have they made the best jazz album of the year or the best rock album of the year? Whatever it is, it's simply one of the best” 8/10 – Pop Matters
