  • Description

    Norwegian trumpeter and composer Lyder Roed has over a longer period, worked on his solo project "Freespace", the music was written as an ordered piece by Ostnorsk Jazzsenter for OJKOS (Orchestra for Jazz Composers in Oslo) and is a project where he playfully around with musical references. Roed has been a member of the band Fieh for the last seven years. In the solo project 'Freespace' he has brought with him several members from that band and incorporated elements from Fiehs Music. Together with the big band of OJKOS, an alternative orchestral pop music emerges. In contrast to Roeds former releases (Lyder Roed quintet, Bangkok Lingo, Slow is the new fast), he moves further away from the jazz tradition, and combines elements from different genres which has been of great importance to him. This is a pop record that plays with genres and directions.

    The band, consisting of 16 persons moves seamlessly through Lyders compositions, and Sofie Tollefsbol flows on top with her distinctive vocal and text. Producer Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist, Susanne Sundfor and more) has also had a major influence on the record. Both in terms of sound and arrangement. He has been a great supporter of the project.

    This release clearly marks where Roed stand as both composer and musician at the Norwegian music scene today.
