My interview of Daniel Herskedal is up at The Bandcamp Daily

 

I interviewed tubist Daniel Herskedal for The Bandcamp Daily.

We talked about the challenges of adding an unconventional jazz instrument to the ensemble, immersing oneself in different musics, his process for bringing a project together, and how all of those feed into his new album The Roc.

Here’s a LINK to go read it.

And you can listen to and purchase the new album The Roc on Bandcamp.

Traumton Records is opening up shop on Bandcamp

 

Falling under the recurring conversation topic of Labels We’d Like To See Show Up On Bandcamp, I’m excited to announce that Traumton Records has begun uploading their recent catalog to a Bandcamp label page.

Located in Berlin, Germany, Traumton puts out an enticing mix of different genres, and in many cases, they all sort of bleed into one another stylistically. Over the years, I’ve recommended many recordings in their catalog, and very rarely do their fall into a straight-ahead category. There’s always something different about each of their albums, and it’s always something interesting.

They are currently adding their recent releases to their Bandcamp page, but over time they’ll be adding the older recordings, too. Because of Bandcamp’s functionality for limited streams of the recording, it means you’ll get to just wander through their store and hit the play button of anything that looks interesting. And when you find something (and I guarantee you will), you’re already on the page to buy it.

Here’s a few recent recommendations of albums now on their Bandcamp page:

Brot & Sterne – Tales of Herbst

Read about it  |  Check it out on Bandcamp

 

Hely – Jangal

Read about it  |  Check it out on Bandcamp

 

Enjuti – Schönheit durch Zerbrechlichkeit

Read about it  |  Check it out on Bandcamp

 

So, start digging through their catalog on Bandcamp (take me there).
