“Rodrigues and Johan investigate the outer limits of the hollow wood of their instruments, with great focus on detail and remarkable discipline. Their instruments become an imaginative sound generators, producing a rich palette of sounds”

'Chasing Shadows' by Johan Moir Ensemble
Released on 12" Vinyl and Digital format in April 2016 on HearHere Records
Purchase online here: https://hearhererecords.bandcamp.com/album/chasing-shadows
or digitally on itunes
’Moir´s melodic, well-crafted compositions suggest nuanced, cinematic narratives’ ’Highly recommended’ Eyal Harueveni, Allaboutjazz, 3,5/4
‘It sounds brilliant the whole way through’ ‘Most of the tunes have a beautiful development, that make you sit and listen actively so as to not miss any part of this growth’ Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts
‘Just as the cornerstones are improvisation and experimentation, each one of the richly varied compositions has a clear structure and strong melodic content so that the music almost appears as minutely notated. Probably due to responsiveness, harmony and balance apparent between the musicians.’ Peter Bornemar, Dig Jazz, 4/5
‘Immediately you are struck by an almost familial responsiveness, the group chemistry and the dynamics that exist between the musicians. You can hear that they are having fun, that they enjoy each others company, and above all that they speak and understand each others musical language.’ Patrik Sandberg, Orkesterjournalen
‘There are no adventurous solos, all the musicians are equal and all have their place’ PM Jönsson, GP, 4/5

'Transitions' by Svelia
Released on CD and Digital format in May 2015 on Losen Records
Purchase digitally on itunes, or by finding a local distributor for Losen Records in your country.
"The entire concept of this album and the overall impression it makes is truly amazing" "Overall a stunning debut effort, which deserves praise not only for what it offers, but the sheer audacity and chutzpah, mixed with pure genious, which are so rare these days".
Adam Baruch - Soundtrack of my life
The mood changes and the music ebbs and flows, but it feels like organic movements born out of necessity rather than aimless experiments. Svelia is creating a world of sound that is all their own, but it does not become hermetic. Instead, it is music that reaches out and wants to communicate with all the diverse emotions in the human vocabulary. Jakob Baekgaard - All About Jazz
