Ordinaria Hit e Rodrigo Montoya - Volume 1 (2013)



8.8

/Chamber music, Improvised music, Free jazz, Collaboration, Experimentalism, Avant-garde/

Comment: this is the first notch of the sessions by Sao Paulo-based quartet Ordinaria Hit whose purpose is to cooperate with other musicians within the concept. The collective exploits ordinary rock instruments for improvisation and Rodrigo Montoya adds the chords of a viola and sparse fingerpicks on a shamisen. The result is enthralling due to a glad ambiance feeling in the rehearsal room. Stylistically their outlet extends from grating chamber music to more tumultuous free jazz-y experiments and improvised noise. Of course, there are represented lots of semi shades between those aforementioned styles.
