Featuring compositions by Lehman and Frédéric Maurin, ONJ's artistic director, the work incorporates elements of French spectral harmony into it's compositional framework while also integrating live, interactive electronics developed at IRCAM in which abstract electronic sounds react to soloist improvisations in real-time. The new work is inspired by Lehman's Octet, whose groundbreaking work were the first to utilize spectral harmony's complex sonorities within a jazz context. Their critically-lauded releases Mise en Abime (Pi 2014) and Travail, Transformation and Flow (Pi 2009) were voted the #1 album of the year in the NPR Jazz Critics Poll and the #1 jazz album of the year in The New York Times, respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 39 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Los Angeles Imaginary \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Chimera \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Alchimie \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ode to Aklaff \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Jeux D'anches \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Les Treize Soleils \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Speed-Freeze (Part 1) \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Speed-Freeze (Part 2) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Le Seuil (Part 1) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Le Seuil (Part 2)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Lehman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43679145885763,"sku":"43651146","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9847\/3539\/files\/4232679-3018386.jpg?v=1786929882","url":"https:\/\/sonirecords.com\/products\/lehman-steve-ex-machina","provider":"MAILE LOR60x16RAINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
