sPacemoNkey
is the duo project of pianist
Morten Qvenild
and drummer
Gard Nilssen
. They enjoyed collaborating in
Mathias Eick
's band, and quickly decided to try playing together as a duo. During the past 10-15 years, Morten Qvenild has been one of the most creative, ground-breaking and innovative musicians in Norway. He has participated in bands including
In The Country
,
Shining
,
Jaga Jazzist
,
Trinity
, and
Susanna And The Magical Orchestra
. Gard Nilssen, on his part, is one of the most active and highly sought-after drummers in the business, having played with
Bushman's Revenge
,
Astro Sonic
,
Puma
, the
Trondheim Jazz Orchestra
and
Susanne Sundfør
's band. "Basically, I find the duo format extremely appealing, and have worked quite a bit together with singers. Working with a drummer gives me a wide scope and a lot of freedom to take the music in a number of different directions," says Qvenild. And he is taking advantage of this freedom with a vengeance in
The Karman Line
. This is spacy, stimulating and lovely music, full of surprises and exploring new soundscapes. sPacemoNkey's debut album,
The Karman Line
, is entirely improvisational, and was recorded at Propeller Studio in Oslo. "We used the studio as a tool in the process of discovering what we could accomplish with the duo. A lot of trial and error. A lot of discussions about our direction. During the process a band suddenly crystallized," says Qvenild. The album was later completed, produced and mixed at Duper Studio in Bergen together with
Jørgen Træen
. Morten Qvenild (hyperpiano, electronics and programming); Gard Nilssen (drums, gongs, bells, vibraphone and electronics).
