Ornette Hawkins’ genre-bending release blends organic, instrumental performances with the electronic production of their previous dnb offerings. ‘Places In Space’ opens with a deceptively straight-ahead sound before collapsing into soundscapes that transport the listener to futuristic realms.
‘Places in Space’ includes the two new original compositions ‘Entropology’ and ‘Orbits’ with Ornette Hawkins signature cut-up style, repurposing live jazz instrumentalists, this time for mind-expanding results that stretch the definition of time and meter.
Then you have Nic TVG’s remix of the lead off track which gives it a slightly more steady pulse but still honors the original’s freer moments. Rounding out the package is Ornette Hawkins ‘Impression’ of Italian dnb producer Crix’s track ‘Nihil’ which takes her electric piano and adds the spiritual funk of improvised jazz musicians and electronic effects.
