The combination of its unorthodox sound sources, including Xavier Charles's clarinet harmonics, Christian Wallumr\\xf8d's prepared piano, Ivar Grydeland's bowed banjo, and Ingar Zach's differentiated gran cassa  playing has led to free playing and spontaneous group-composing in a class of its own. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing their formation in 2006, the group's ECM debut in 2008, titled simply Dans les arbres, generated many rave reviews, with The Wire declaring it 'a most extraordinary and compelling achievement...There's no end to the delights of this quite magical disc.' The magic is intact on Canop\\xe9e, recorded in June 2010 and April 2011 in Oslo.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir music moves gently but steadily and broadly ahead, the textural scenery changing as DLA harnesses its wealth of unusual extended techniques. Small movements precipitate gradual sonic transformations. Sounds are carefully nurtured and encouraged to glow. Responsibilities are very equally shared as textures are blended. All four musicians are skilled improvisers, but no one is claiming or struggling for solo space. There seems, rather, to be a group mind at work, with strong compositional instincts. Where DLA's debut album was all-acoustic, this time Grydeland has brought his electric guitar into the sound picture. If it thickens the plot, it is never permitted to overpower the delicate sonic palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Xavier Charles (clarinet, harmonica), Ivar Grydeland (electric guitar, banjo, sruti), Christian Wallumr\\xf8d (prepared piano, harmonium), Ingar Zach (gran cassa, percussion)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Fum\\xe9e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'\\xc9manation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Vapeur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Bu\\xe9e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'\\xc9ther\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe Vertige\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'Immat\\xe9riel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Cimes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Brume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Transparence\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55185119936897,"sku":"193115","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41AAyNkmh3S._SL1500.jpg?v=1768297266","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/193115","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
