Film Noir by Jon Durant Bob Magnuson
Music that intentionally avoids any attempt to categorize it. Magnuson’s classical oboe training strongly informs much of the melodic landscape. There are strong overtones of modern classical movements throughout, but it gets blended with stark, ECM-esque ambient jazz. Durant’s deeply textural guitar clouds form the basis for many of the pieces, with Magnuson adding the breathy melodies that are a times slightly unsettling and yet always memorable.
