Description
Danish guitarist Jon Hemmersam's credits include an impressive catalogue of recordings with Bob Moses, David Liebman, Evelyn Glennie and many more. 'Floating Orange' his collaboration with violist Szilard Mezei, is the seventh SLAM album for Mezei, one of the labels most highly praised artists.
Hemmersam and Mezei have enjoyed a longstanding relationship in many different musical settings, including Szilard's album 'Karszt', however 'Floating Orange' is their first duo recording. The title was inspired by the CD's artwork designed by Erzsébet Mezei, Szilard's mother, an established visual artist working in various materials, including ceramics and felt.
The music here is improvised - Jon Hemmersam describes it: "I feel that the music is really floating, and connecting on a very high level on this recording, and I do have images containing the colour orange when I listen to it...therefore it is floating orange to me and Szilard as well..."
