So, too, does Raham’s beckoning saxophone, which shifts into stratospheric zeitgeist via digital audio processing. Ramazanouglu’s drums and Donin’s bass rage with rapid-fire angst. Take, for example, the aptly titled “Dervish,” where the three dig into a sinister, nasty march and spur each other to push harder and go farther. Somewhere, Don Pullen and Sun Ra are smiling. They play a trance-dance, spiritual style of jazz that’s bold, edgy and flat-out awesome. Core group members Idris Rahman (saxophone), Liran Donin (bass) and Emre Ramazanoglu (drums) drive furious improvisational invention over fantastically danceable beats.
Liminal Space, the group’s 10th recording and first to be fully produced, loses none of the power of those raw predecessors and gains all the sheen of the studio.

and an ongoing series of nine limited-run, DIY live recordings that sell out to fans as soon as they drop. Ill Considered has been making a name for itself over the past four years with packed live shows in the U.K. The music asks to be heard on its own terms its unprecedented sounds and in-the-moment formulations invite the listener to set aside any preconceived ideas and expectations, and the rewards are immense. Go: Organic Guitar Orchestra is a natural evolution for Rudolph’s futuristic orchestral vision. It resonates with electric-acoustic energy and buzzes with aliveness. I think we succeeded.” They do indeed succeed, and the result is completely organic music that’s profoundly original, strikingly powerful and dialog-driven. “The idea was to have the music transcend the idea of thinking a certain way that the technique of playing a particular instrument can sometimes encourage.
“I asked them … to imagine they were playing an oboe, or were singing, or a Moog or a flock of birds,” he explained.
Each guitarist brings his own voice and phraseology to this egalitarian effort under strict instructions from conductor Rudolph to “not think like a guitarist.” The leader sought to discourage his virtuosic players from relying on instrumental technique, instead encouraging them to seek soulful and creative sounds. The recording is a document of the group’s final performance from its 2015 tour, the culmination of a perpetually evolving shared experience. But for Resonant Bodies, Rudolph envisioned an entirely new kind of ensemble experience: a nine-piece guitar orchestra consisting of some of New York’s finest and most adventurous players: Nels Cline, Liberty Ellman, David Gilmore, Miles Okazaki, Joel Harrison and Kenny Wessel on electric guitars and effects Marco Cappelli on acoustic guitar and effects Jerome Harris on electric guitar and electric bass and Damon Banks on bass. Previous recordings in the series, which Rudolf began developing in 2001, feature a variety of instrumental configurations of varying sizes. Resonant Bodies is the 12th release in master percussionist and world music pioneer Adam Rudolph’s series of recordings with Go: Organic Orchestra, his long-running concept for a new, globally based creative music ensemble.
