OFF EARTH
Aleatory Grammar
Mark Cunningham: trumpet and processors.
Jakob Draminsky Højmark: keyboard and laptop
Aleatory Grammar create music from intuitive combinations/mutations of played and processed acoustic trumpet, electronic keyboards and myriad samples, abstract but not absent, fulfillingly present in the heat of the improvised moment.
Recorded live July 7th 2007 at Heliogràbal in Barcelona, OFF EARTH is the third album from the US/DK duo.
The album is mixed in Copenhagen during the summer of 2018 by eTEA.
Between 2001 and 2007 US, No Wave pioneer, Mark Cunningham and Danish composer Jakob Draminsky, collaborators since the early ’90s in Barcelona, performed around Spain and Europe and released two albums – Aleatory Grammar (2002) and abcedminded (2004) as a coproduction between MultiSounds and Spookysound.
With the release of OFF EARTH on Raised Field Records the duo is back in action.
