Check out review on SoCal Creative Music blog:
The interplay of the musicians as well as the electronic devices is first rate, sometimes hard to know where the player and the computer end. I think that listeners of David Torns Prezens or Squarepusher would probably find themselves getting into this...
Simplexity to Release Debut Album 'Extreme Measures' through Vibration Institute
West Coast electronic jazz group Simplexity (http://www.myspace.com/simplexitymusic) will be releasing their debut album Extreme Measures worldwide on Tuesday February 2, 2010 through Vibration Institute Music
Simplexity is a hyper-dimensional electronic jazz project formed by producer, noted computer musician and bassist John von Seggern together with some of the most innovative and respected jazz players on the West Coast – Los Angeles sound designer and top studio musician Steve Tavaglione, keys player John Beasley, drummer Gary Novak, trumpeter Walt Fowler, and clarinetist/EVI player Judd Miller. The album also contains some of the last recordings of bassist Dave Carpenter, to whom Extreme Measures is dedicated
Extreme Measures was recorded over a couple days of jam sessions and overdubs at drummer Gary Novak's Kronos Recording studio in Burbank. Sax, drums, keyboards, and bass were mixed and combined with computer beats and grooves in live session, then later edited and remixed into compositions by John von Seggern.
The release event for Extreme Measures will be a live performance by Simplexity taking place at Los Angeles’ home for experimental instrumental music, ResBox on January 21 at 8pm. ResBox is a monthly event featuring the world's best experimental music, curated by musician and filmmaker Hans Fjellestad. The event takes place at the Steve Allen Theater at the Center for Inquiry West, 4773 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027.
Although Extreme Measures is the group's first release under the Simplexity name, the members of this illustrious group are each well-known in their own right as giants of the West Coast music scene. Between them, they have amassed hundreds of recording credits for albums, film and television. Extreme Measures will be released digitally worldwide in all the major online services including iTunes, Amazon.com, and Rhapsody and on CD at Amazon.com and local outlets in Los Angeles on February 2, 2010, through the Vibration Institute Music label.
