Pianist Nico Chientaroli leads this 9-piece Dutch ensemble, based around free improvisation but merging rock & experimental music from funky to abstract, in generally energetic and slightly unhinged music in a Dutch improv kind of way, incorporating spoken word with texts from Jorge Luis Borges, William Burroughs, Martin Calegari, &c.; wonderfully embraceable and eclectic.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2022 Country: Portugal Packaging: Cardboard Gatefold Recorded at the Bimhuis, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on September 11th, 2020, by Ron Ruiten.
"Owlman is a large group led by Nico Chientaroli, with its heart in free improvisation, composition, poetry and rock. Extracts of texts from Jorge Luis Borges, William Burroughs, Martin Calegari, among others, merged with hypnotic grooves, soulful blowing, abstract landscapes and rock blasts.
"Jazz, rock, blues, South American, slam poetry, punk, experimental electronica and sound art. In short, an eclectic mix of surprising sounds from a musician who has already proven to belong to the experimental vanguard."-Ben Taffijn - Draai Om Je Oren (08/08/2020)
