REVIEWS

The ninth album of the series includes two festival sets. First of all, it is over half an hour performance of the Spontaneous Ensemble consisting of: Guilherme Rodrigues (cello), Marcelo Dos Reis (electric guitar), Anna Jędrzejewska (electronics), Wojtek Kurek (drums), Witold Oleszak (piano), Paweł Doskocz (electric guitar), Michał Giżycki (bass clarinet) and Ostap Mańko (violin). The disc also features a trio set formed by the musicians co-creating the aforementioned octet: Guilherme Rodrigues (cello), Marcelo Dos Reis (acoustic guitar) and Anna Jędrzejewska (piano).

“The musicians did not use (...) any notations, they said to each other only a few words before the performance. Guilherme himself basically pointed to only one important aspect of coming improvisation - we all have to listen to each other intensely! The effect was great, however. Eight musicians played according to an internal order, nowhere recorded - the sounds were flowing in a dense stream straight from their cerebral ganglia, intertwined with incredibly intense, artistic empathy. The improvisation initially focused on intimate phrases, on a certain minimalism, but many times during the 35-minute set it escaped into effective, hot, almost fiery eruptions of emotions. (...) The trio took us to the land of sensual free chamber music (...). Masterful dramaturgy, fantastic acoustic sounds, and the flash of narrative perfection, especially from the pianist. "

(v). October 2021.
In October 2021 Guilherme visited the Spontaneous
Music Festival and gave a wonderful concert in the
Dragon Social Club, accompanied by Marcelo Dos Reis
and the amazing Polish musicians from the Poznan scene.
The sets starts with the 34 minutes long highlight, which
is "one", an octet track, involving all listed musicians.
The music belongs to the "canonical" Rodrigues family
genre, with plenty of free minimalism and collective improvisations.
The Polish touch makes a change, however. The
individual lines of vairous instrument are better distinguished,
so one can enjoy concentrating on Witold's piano,
Guilherme's cello or Ostap's violin. The electric guitars
work by Marcelo and Pawel is truly exquisite. Also
the section needs to be mention: discrete. but irreplaceable!
The second track, 20 minutes long "two", is by the
trio with Ania on piano, Marcelo on acoustic guitar,
and the boss on cello. Quiet music, with elements of
free improvised minimalism, magnicent acoustic guitar
lines and prepared/iside piano parts by Ania. The third
track "three", played as encore, is also by the same trio.
It is also a minimal music track, but with phenomenal
rhythmic guitar lines and cello solos.
