Improvisational music with roots of modern classical music and the natural twists of wind.

On a recent trip to Lisbon Portugal clarinetist Blaise Siwula was invited to a recording session with the "Lisbon String Trio" featuring violist Ernesto Rodrigues, cellist Miguel Mira and bassist Alvaro Rosso for a session of improvisationa music. The result was a focused and sustained collaboration of sounds from nature in a dance of light. K'AMPOKOL CHE K'AAY (wood music) K'AAY is Mayan for music/canto...K'AMPOL CHE is wood is the result. The track titles are for your imagination.

The music is imagination of an image of a dream from jaguars of flamingos with passion.

Approximately 3 years ago Blaise Siwula and Israel Flores Bravo met for the first time in Mérida, MX and performed as a duo in the Cha'ak'ab Paaxil free jazz and noise Festival. This led to several encuentros in Queretaro, San Miguel and Mexico City. The music has maintained it's freshness and spontaneity during each show. Israel Flores Bravo is a drummer/poet who resides in Queretaro MX performing with a wide variety of improvising musicians. Blaise Siwula is a saxophonist and clarinetist who lives in Brooklyn, NY and on a more regular schedule Mérida MX. This cd contains music from their last two shows in Mexico City - JazzOrca and Queretaro - Mas sabe el diablo Cultubar.

When spontaneous jazz meets psychedelic rock water music can be the result. These waterscapes are meditations from the subconscious.

This duet is trans Atlantic. Blaise Siwula resides in Brooklyn and Jorge Nuno is from Lisbon, Portugal. They met for the first time on Jan 27th, 2016 and then again on Jan 28th 2016 to complete the recording. Psychedelic guitar with jazz bass clarinet/soprano sax on a journey to new and different territory in a panorama of abstract expressionism. There is a constant shift from foreground to background with linear melodies skating over the reflections in an aquatic environment.

After a week of preparing for a show improvising on the 19th century composer Gaetano Daga’s “Union Blues Quick Step” we went to the studio and recorded 52 minutes of spontaneous music without actually referencing the tune the entire session.

Rags to Riches is the first duet collaboration between Luciano Troja and Blaise Siwula after three trio releases. We hop you enjoy the recording.

Spontaneously composed as a kaleidoscope of genres emerges then transcends the past, present and future as the trio pursues a harmonic, rhythmic and melodic compositional poem.

Past the Future is the result of the ongoing musical relationship projection:zero - blaise siwula on reeds, carsten radtke on guitar and the addition of joe hertenstein on drums and percussion. this music was spontaneously composed in wombat studios on sept 1, 2014. The is the 2nd projection:zero cd to be released in 6 years.

This is improvised spontaneously composed music that breathes swaggering scruffy New York, the cutting edge Lower East Side where drop dead eccentricity and lunacy is king in 2003.

The Lower East Side Social Club originated in what appears to be the last of the community art buildings in the East Village - ABC No Rio on 156 Rivington St. NYC. Sunday night open sessions at the C.O.M.A. music series led to a few loft parties and then suddenly a recording session and this CD. This is improvised spontaneously composed music that breathes swaggering scruffy New YOrk, the cutting edge Lower East Side where drop dead eccentricity and lunacy is king. What kind of music is that? It's a stunning mixture of New Music, hip hop, rock, free jazz, salsa and Beethoven at a club where Mongo Santamaria meets Leopold Godowsky for tea. The Lower East Side Social is - Blaise Siwula alto sax/clarinet, Gregory J. Wildes samples/alto sax, Matthew Paris piano, Christobal Jacques electric bass and Drew Gardner drums

The spontaneously composed music on this cd was inspired by and dedicated to the jazz tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler.

Blaise Siwula and Shiro Onuma first met in Tokyo in 2005 while performing with pianist Katsuyuki Itakura at the Pit Inn. A return tour to Japan in 2006 found them partnered again in free improvised performances in Tokyo. In 2009 Shiro Onuma was able to visit New York city for a series of performances and this recording date on July 25th at Wombat studios. A sax and drum duet...just straight improvising with rhythm and changing melodies....and energy. There wasn't a pre conceived direction to play like or sound like Albert Ayler but there was definitely a feeling that spoke clearly to both musicians. This recording has been waiting four years for this moment...I hope you enjoy it.

Elegant sax lines float over textural guitar stylings are manipulated in a process of real time electronic orchestration.

Inspired by the creations and philosophy of Nikola Tesla Blaise Siwula reeds, Harvey Valdes guitar and Gian Luigi Diana laptop explore an electro/acoustic realm of improvisation. Though cast in the shape of a trio, the musicians deconstruct their sound often ending up together, tumbling hard but light through this dizzying lesson in cooperative 'conflict'. Based in Brooklyn Tesla Coils has been active in the NYC downtown scene in many different configurations including Karl Berger's Improvisers Orchestra

The CD is the 2nd release by D'istante3. The material was spontaneously composed with jazz roots and a synthesis of world music and acoustic improvisation

There are those studio dates that everything seems to work right..well almost.... This was a moment in time that made sense during and after the session. There has to be an enormous amount of listening to make spontaneous composition work and there were 6 ears extended. The studio was a one room space that meant everything was documented ..this was not overdubbed or isolated. Luciano Troja is a master of piano technique and can produce music in all genres and styles while performing. Giancarlo Mazzù extended his musical talent beyond the guitar (on which he would be described a monster) to the drum kit (he has studied rhythms from around the world) and vocals of which he blends with his guitar. Blaise Siwula has been referred to as "Reed Master of Free Music" (Gregory Edwards 2-28-14) and has a fearless approach to harmony and rhythm.
