Product Description

Product Description

First ECM leader date for the widely-admired Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen, 'Cartography' explores a range of changing, beautiful landscapes with electronic wizards Jan Bang and Erik Honoré and guests such as singers Anna Maria Friman and David Sylvian (here reciting his own poetry). It's very "visual" music, like soundtracks for unmade films, emphasising melody and atmosphere.

'Cartography' is produced by Jan Bang and Erik Honoré, co-founders of Kristiansand's Punkt Festival, location for several of these recordings. The pair have collaborated for many years - they work as a duo also called Punkt and as a travelling remix unit. As shapers of soundscapes they are in search of a relaxed yet intense openness, a description that can be applied to the music here. Much of the music is freely created but its particular freedoms are applied to horizontal movement: Heniksen's trumpet glides over the changing terrain created by his associates. Amongst the many guests is singer David Sylvian, making his ECM debut reading two of his poems; Trio Mediaeval are sampled on the track "Recording Angel", and Anna Maria Friman sings on "Famine's Ghost".

Personnel:
Arve Henriksen - (trumpets, voice), with: Jan Bang - (samples), Erik Honoré - (synthesizer), Audun Klieve - (percussion), Eivind Aarset - (guitars), Anna Maria Friman - (voice), David Sylvian - (speaker) and others

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime 25 Dec 2008
By Kirkus
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Arve Henrikensen seems to have the ability to make his trumpet sound like a lost voice in a wilderness in this wonderful set of recordings. The guest inclusion of David Sylvian (ex 'Japan' member) on two of the tracks is why I initially purchased it, as I love all his work, if you know any of Sylvians recent work then you will also like this, it has the same feel. This is not in my view, 'Modern experimental jazz' or any other fancy term someone may wish to give it, its soundscapes that you can dive into and relax, as well as someone trying to push musical boundaries further by experimenting with what their instrument can do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary 19 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
Cartography By any definition, this is extraordinary music. Arve Henriksen has singlehandedly created a whole new sound and texture for the trumpet that no-one else even comes close to. This is emotional, compelling, contemplative music of a very special kind being created and played by a master - if he's this good now, it's scary how good he could be when he gets to be Jan Garbarek's age. The comparison with Garbarek is deliberate, in that Garbarek created a new tone and style for the tenor sax the way Henriksen is doing for the trumpet. There's elements of traditional folksong, hints of 'classical music', and dissenters will probably call it 'new age', but this is a truly seminal record. If you're still not sure, check out the final track 'Sorrow and it's opposite', a beautiful trumpet melody played over Jan Bang's samples - exquisite.

5.0 out of 5 stars ambient jazz 31 Dec 2009
By A. SHAW
Format:Audio CD
arve henricksen goes from strength to strength - his finest offering to date. if you like david sylvian there is a lot of nuances of his work here, particularly redolent of DS's early solo work. Of course DS has contributed to cartography lyrically, and AH has played with DS also.
Don't expect mainstream like Mark Isham's trumpet playing style, this is a whole different, interesting and absorbing style.
