We're absolutely delighted to let you know pre-sales are now available for the album ‘Triangles’ by Olivia Moore and Adam Fairhall. https://newjazzandimprovisedmusicrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/triangles

Olivia Moore and Adam Fairhall - Triangles

Moore and Fairhall’s debut duo album brings Indian classical music, American folk music and contemporary jazz together in a highly individual manner. The improvisational aspects of the source traditions are used as an opportunity to blend disparate compositional materials and soloing vocabularies in a subtle way, resulting in a distinctive duo idiom that extends the performers’ established artistic voices.

The format of accordion and violin is particularly well suited for this material; Olivia switches between violins depending on whether the material is Indian or Western in origin, and Adam switches between a tradition Stradella accordion (for highly rhythmic, folk-based playing) and a free bass accordion (for more contrapuntal playing). The repertoire is a mixture of original pieces, Appalachian folk tunes and pieces inherited by Olivia from her Indian teacher. All are approached with an overall sense of creative improvisation.

“Nourished by Indian and jazz traditions, but with an elegance that comes from her classical training, Olivia Moore’s violin has an Eastern tang that is genuinely entrancing” – Manchester Evening News
�“A hugely accomplished instrumentalist” – The Wire

“Adam Fairhall is a total star” – Independent on Sunday

This release was made possible with grateful support from Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants.

It’s Bandcamp Friday and we’re delighted to announce the release of Juliana Day - Capillary Cycles EP. This is the 21st release on NEWJAiM Recordings and we’d love it if you could head over to our Bandcamp page and pick up a Download or copy of the CD.

Other previous releases available which are all well worth checking out! CD’s will be shipping early next week, and loads more exciting news to come.

Juliana Day - recorders, whistles, vocals and live electronics

Captured live through a loop pedal and effects unit, Capillary Cycles is an improvised, loosely structured work for recorders, voice, and live electronics. Drawing inspiration from the vastness and complexity of sea and desert landscapes, it delves into both the microscopic and the cosmic. The work explores the interplay between the internal and external, reflecting on the rhythms and systems within the body and their connections to the world around us.

Juliana Day’s music uses a haunting combination of the lower family of recorders, whistles, vocalisations, found sounds and field recordings, building up looped layers and ambient, improvised textures. Described as “fascinating and contemplative” (Jazzwise), her music takes influence from choral music, folk music, minimalism and artists such as Tim Hecker, Kali Malone, Steve Reich, Ichiko Aoba, William Basinski and Pauline Oliveros.

This is Juliana Day’s second release with NEWJAiM Recordings

New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings

The New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings project was established during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, offering a creative output for musicians when live performance opportunities were unavailable and encouraging artist independence.

Emphasising sustainability for artists and music studios, the ethos of sustainability also carries through the production process by employing a carbon neutral manufacturing plant and distributors, using recycled and biodegradable materials whenever possible.
