„The murder of Jessica Fletcher" is the accomplishment of a project started in 2005 by Rocco Lombardi (drums) and Olivier Magistra (guitar), following their meeting at the Jazz Conservatory of Lausanne. Their work leads them to explore different approaches to musical composition, one of which becomes quite fast predominant: Rhythm. The compositions are created from polyrhythmic concepts and more or less complex metric modulation systems. However, DeafJellyfishMovie is capable of expressing a percussive, direct, immediate music, not just restraining themselves to the mere concept. Regarding the style, the first production of this album is undoubtedly eclectic. The overall style being fusion / metal / progressive, the songs are sometimes instrumental, sometimes sung, ranging from the acoustic to the electric through electronic music, thanks to collaboration with Stendek which created a remix of the song " Short Horizon ", and jazz by featuring saxophonist Max Pizio song in" G-Raph. Musicians: Rocco Lombardi - drums / / Olivier Magistra - guitar, programming / / Antoine Lang - vocals, sound effects / / Francesco Salis - piano, keys / / Raphaël Ortis - bass / / Guests: Stendeck - "Short Horizon" remix / / Max Pizio - Sax and flute on "G-Raph"

Avec "The murder of Jessica Fletcher" se concrétise un projet commencé en 2005, lancé par Rocco Lombardi (batterie) et Olivier Magistra (guitare), suite à leur rencontre à la section Jazz du Conservatoire de Lausanne. Leur travail les amène à explorer différentes approches de la composition musicale, dont l'une prend assez vite le dessus: le rythme. Les compositions naissent à partir de concepts polyrythmiques et de modulations métriques plus ou moins complexes. Toutefois, DeafJellyfishMovie est capable d'exprimer une musique percutante, directe, immédiate, sans se limiter au concepte lui-même. En ce qui concerne le style, la production de ce premier album est sans doute éclectique. Avec une connotation fusion / metal / progressive, les chansons sont parfois instrumentales, parfois chantées, allant de l'acoustique à l'électrique en passant par l'électronique, grâce également à la collaboration avec Stendek qui a créé un remix de la chanson "Short Horizon", et par le jazz grâce au featuring du saxophoniste Max Pizio chanson dans "G-Raph". Musiciens: Rocco Lombardi - batterie / / Olivier Magistra - guitare, programmation / / Antoine Läng - chant, effets sonores / / Francesco Salis - piano, keys / / Raphaël Ortis - basse / / Invités: Stendeck - "Short Horizon" remix / / Max Pizio - Sax et flûte sur „G-Raph" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Con „The murder of Jessica Fletcher" si corona un progetto iniziato nell'anno 2005, lanciato da Rocco Lombardi (batteria) e Olivier Magistra (chitarra) in seguito al loro incontro alla Sezione Jazz del Conservatorio di Lausanne. Il loro lavoro li porta a esplorare differenti approcci della composizione musicale, uno dei quali prende abbastanza presto il sopravvento: il ritmo. Le composizioni nascono da concetti di poliritmia o di modulazioni metriche più o meno complesse. Tuttavia DeafJellyfishMovie sa esprimere una musica incisiva, diretta, immediata, senza accantonarsi al concetto. Per quanto riguarda la direzione stilistica, la produzione di questo primo album è senza ombra di dubbio eclettica. Con un una connotazione di base fusion/metal/progressive, i brani sono talvolta strumentali, talvolta cantati, spaziando dall'acustico all'elettrico passando per l'elettronico, grazie anche alla collaborazione con Stendek che ha creato una versione remix del brano „Short Horizon", e per il jazz grazie all'intervento solistico di Max Pizio nel brano „G-Raph".Rocco Lombardi – batteria // Olivier Magistra – chitarra, programming // Antoine Läng – voce, effetti // Francesco Salis – piano, keys // Raphaël Ortis – basso // Ospiti: Stendeck – „Short Horizon" remix // Max Pizio – Sax e Flauto traverso su „G-Raph" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CD AVAILABLE!
