Fragile, telepathic and explosive: the "jazz of today" from the far north.

The band project Emmeluth's Amoeba by Danish alto saxophonist Signe Krunderup Emmeluth pulverizes the assumption of a tonal point-to-point cartography between improvisation, free and chamber jazz, which usually orders our reality in order to make sound maps possible at the edges that are subject to completely different laws. 

The starting point for this is the Norwegian capital Oslo, where Emmeluth has been musically active in a diverse network since the 2010s. A list of her projects with representatives of the Scandinavian scene includes names such as Jonas Cambien, Ole Morten Vågan, Mette Rasmussen and the Spacemusic Ensemble. For Emmeluth's Amoeba, she found a quartet line-up with which she creates a sound that synthesizes the ramifications of the individual players in an unexpected way and creates something extraordinary. A new order is created, starting from holes and edges, through the abrupt appearance and disappearance of lines and dots.

In this way, spaces of possibility become visible that always co-exist in simultaneity on a spectrum and can be alluded to. As a further level of reality that is not regulated by constants, but savors the discontinuous and invites us listeners to move away from straight lines, where rapid changes of register, sudden outbursts and a new interlocking of the most diverse melodic lines actually make space-time singularities tangible.
