● Maria Faust's Jazz Catastrophe ●
Maria Faust: kompositioner & altsaxofon
Lars Bech Pilgard: guitar
Anders Vestergaard: trommer
Saxofonisten og komponisten Maria Faust er kendt og respekteret over hele verden for sine prisvindende ensembler Sacrum Facere, Machina og Jazz Catastrophe. Selvom hendes unikke musikalske sprog som komponist og enestående improvisationsstil er let genkendelig, er hun svær at placere i kanon af moderne jazz og komposition. Dette skyldes dels det brede spektrum af hendes påvirkninger, og dels at hendes musik går ud over stilistiske definitioner og ind i det dybt personlige.
I dag er Maria Faust en af de mest berømte og etablerede estiske musikere nogensinde, modtager af adskillige priser og udmærkelser fra Estland og Danmark (hvor hun bor), men også en fejret kunstner i hele Europa, der langsomt men sikkert er ved at fange det amerikanske publikums opmærksomhed.
Maria Fausts Jazz Catastrophe blev oprindeligt grundlagt i København i 2012 som et moderne bigband. Det nuværende album dokumenterer dets tredje mutation. Koncentreret og reduceret til sin essens som en tyk sirup, udføres den nye musik af et trio, hvor Maria Fausts altsaxofon flankeres af hendes mangeårige samarbejdspartnere Lars Pilgaard på guitar og Anders Vestergaard på trommer.
”Moth” er Fausts 15. album, og som navnet antyder, er det inspireret af livet hos disse mystiske natlige skabninger – møllene. Deres tiltrækning til lys kaldes positiv fototaksi, og selvom der er mange spekulationer om årsagen, er den stadig ukendt. Det potentielt fatale lokkemiddel, som kunstigt lys udgør, og som tilsyneladende ændrer møllens vilje, er et centralt tema på albummet. Det er en bittersød erkendelse af lighederne med menneskelig adfærd. Vi kan alle høre advarselslydene fra »helvedes klokker«, når noget er ved at gå galt, men vi vælger alligevel at gå lige mod flammen. Dette er en del af den menneskelige erfaring, men det er vigtigt at sige, at disse kompositioner ikke handler om død og undergang. »Moth« er primært et album for ulykkelige elskende. I deres eufori ser de kun lyset. Her ligger skønheden i metaforen, og virkeligheden er, at dette er musik, der er så afskrabet, ægte og smuk, at den kan gøre ondt, men man kan ikke vende sig væk.

Maria Faust: compositions & alto saxophone
Lars Bech Pilgard: guitar
Anders Vestergaard: drums
Saxophonist and composer Maria Faust is renowned and respected worldwide for her award-winning ensembles Sacrum Facere, Machina, and Jazz Catastrophe. Although her unique musical language as a composer and singular improvising style are easily identified, She is difficult to place in the kanon of contemporary jazz and composition. This is partly due to the broad spectrum of her influences and also because her music goes beyond stylistic definitions and into the realm of the deeply personal.
Today Maria Faust is one of the most celebrated and established Estonian musicians of all time, recipient of numerous awards and prizes from Estonia and Denmark (where she resides), but also a celebrated artist all over Europe and slowly but surely catching the attention of American audiences.
Maria Faust ́s Jazz Catastrophe was originally founded in Copenhagen in 2012 as a modern big band, The present album documents its third mutation. Concentrated and reduced down to its essence like a thick syrup, the new music is performed by a trio where Maria Faust ́s alto saxophone is flanked by long-time associates Lars Pilgaard on guitar and Anders Vestergaard on drums.
”Moth” is Faust ́s 15th album and as the name suggests, it is inspired by the life of those mysterious nocturnal creatures – moths. Their being attracted to light is called positive phototaxis and although there is much speculation as to why, the reason is still unknown. The potentially fatal lure of artificial light that seemingly changes the will of the moth is a central theme of the album. It is a bittersweet realization of the similarities to human behavior. We can all hear the warning sounds of “hells bells” when something is about to go wrong, but we choose to go straight towards the flame anyway. This is part of the human experience but it's important to say that these compositions are not about death and demise. "Moth" is primarily an album for star-crossed lovers. In euphoria they see only the light. In here lies the beauty of the metaphor and the reality is that this is music that is so stripped down, real and beautiful that it can hurt you, but you won't be able to turn away.
