"**** four star rating ! YODOK III is Serries trio with Norwegian drummer Tomas Järmyr, known for his work with Norwegian art-rock trio Motorpsycho and his duo with Serries, The Void of Expansion, and amplified tuba and flugabone player Kristoffer Lo, known for his collaborations with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra and the art-pop band Highasakite. This trio's expertise is fully improvised yet refined and evocative ritualist drones, but Verkstedhallen is an unusual project in the trio discography, and not only by being one of the first ones to be released independently by the trio on its new Bandcamp page.

Verkstedhallen is a live soundtrack of YODOK III working with the dance and multimedia project As We Fade Out Into The Sweet Stream Of Oblivion with Norwegian improvising dance artists Mari Flønes, Ingeborg Dugstad Sanders and Live Strugstad, light designer Ingrid Skanke Høsøien, video scenographer Pekka Stokke and sound engineer Håkon Dalen, described as "performance art that highlights the ever-growing need, in this superficial landscape of social media and fast-food entertainment, for reflection, soul searching and pure beauty". This project was Performed at Verkstedhallen, Trondheim, on May 7th till 9th, 2018 (the last two performances were the official premiere at the Trondheim JazzFest), and features four versions of the live soundtrack, almost four hours of music.

YODOK III's enigmatic drones are still highly evocative and hypnotic and all four versions sound totally different but with similar organic courses, divided into two parts, quiet one and more raging one. The first two versions sound more reserved, melancholic and even quieter than the usual ones of this trio but, as expected, both conclude with powerful, psychedelic-cathartic codas. In the following versions, YODOK III dares more and more, clearly in its natural zone. YODOK III still suggests a unique sonic mass where the atmospheric guitar lines of Serries are amplified and extended by the tuba of Lo and charged by the resonant cymbals of Järmyr, and vice versa, with impressive attention to detail and drama, until it all explodes in the magnificent codas. Listening to the four versions in one go can do wonders to your fatigued brain and body. It may tranquilize, absorb all your senses and even exorcise some evil thoughts and moods." Free Jazz Blog

about

YODOKIII Trondheim, Norway

When putting three fine exponents of modern, forward-thinking and experimental music in the same room, the hope is that something a little special is going to be the result. A study in avantgarde, but elements of genres as diverse as jazz, (post)rock and even classical can be heard playing their part in this original mind-bending tapestry. ... more
