Podcast appearances and mentions of tomas fujiwara

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, a la destacada e inclasificable guitarrista y compositora estadounidense, Mary Halvorson con material de dos de sus discos: el nuevo “About Ghosts” con su ensamble Amaryllis y “Artlessly Falling” de 2020, junto a su banda Code Girl y el invitado especial Robert Wyatt. “About Ghosts” fue editado el 13 de junio por el sello Nonesuch y fue producido y mezclado por John Dieterich de Deerhoof. El disco presenta ocho nuevas composiciones de la instrumentista, interpretadas con su sexteto Amaryllis, la banda de improvisación que también participó en sus anteriores álbumes “Amaryllis”, “Belladonna” y “Cloudward”. El ensamble liderado por Halvorson, lo completan Patricia Brennan en vibráfono, Nick Dunston en bajo, Tomas Fujiwara en batería, Jacob Garchik en trombón y Adam O'Farrill en trompeta, a quienes se le suman en cinco de los temas los saxofonistas Immanuel Wilkins y Brian Settles. “Empecé a escribir este disco en otoño de 2023 para Amaryllis y pensé: '¿Sabes qué? Quiero añadir saxofones'. Y así fue”, dice Halvorson. “Lo sentí como un experimento. Simplemente sentía una armonía más densa, que requería más instrumentos de viento. Pero quería seguir con Amaryllis, así que me pareció natural añadir un par de saxofones en lugar de hacer algo completamente nuevo; ya había estado tocando mucho con Amaryllis en ese momento y estábamos en un muy buen momento”. En tanto, “Artlessly Falling” fue editado el 16 de octubre de 2020 por el sello Firehouse 12 e incluye como invitado especial al legendario músico inglés Robert Wyatt (Soft Machine, Matching Mole), quien canta tres de sus canciones. Halvorson comentó que lo convenció de participar, pese a su anunciado retiro de la vida musical en 2014. La guitarrista ha sido una admiradora del cantante, multiinstrumentista, letrista y compositor británico desde largos años e, incluso, en 2018 comenzó su playlist para la célebre revista Wire con el tema ‘Sea Song' de Wyatt. En esa ocasión, señaló que: “Estoy comenzando con Robert Wyatt porque su influencia probablemente sea más profunda. Es un verdadero individuo e innovador y he pasado años escuchando muchos de sus álbumes”. “Robert es uno de mis héroes”, agregó Halvorson. “Es algo tan importante para mí que estuviera dispuesto a cantar en este disco, porque su música ha sido una enorme influencia en Code Girl y en casi todo lo demás que he hecho. Escribí las tres pistas que canta específicamente para él, y me sorprendió la gracia y la brillantez con la que se acercó a esta música. Fue un sueño hecho realidad”. “Artlessly Falling” es el segundo disco del proyecto de Halvorson, Code Girl, el que incluye en sus filas a la cantante Amirtha Kidambi, el bajista Michael Formanek y el baterista Tomas Fujiwara, a quienes se les unen el tromeptista Adam O'Farrill y la saxofonista María Grand. Mary Halvorson es una valorada guitarrista y compositora de Brooklyn, NY, que ha creado una obra muy personal y única dentro del avant-garde y la experimentación, trabajando con una gran cantidad de músicos, entre los que se cuentan Tim Berne, Anthony Braxton, Trevor Dunn, Bill Frisell, Ingrid Laubrock, Jason Moran, Tomeka Reid, Marc Ribot, John Zorn y David Breskin, además de ser parte de la banda, Thumbscrew. No se pierdan Rebelión Sónica por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Esta semana, en el último capítulo de la temporada 2023 de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar música de dos álbumes de la destacada guitarrista y compositora estadounidense Mary Halvorson: “Cloudward” de 2024 y “Code Girl” de 2018. Editado por el sello Nonesuch Records el 19 de enero de 2024, “Cloudward” presenta ocho nuevas composiciones de Halvorson, interpretadas con su sexteto Amaryllis, la banda de improvisación que grabó sus álbumes complementarios de 2022, “Amaryllis” y “Belladonna”. La banda está compuesta por Halvorson, Patricia Brennan (vibráfono), Nick Dunston (bajo), Tomas Fujiwara (batería), Jacob Garchik (trombón) y Adam O'Farrill (trompeta). Además, participa Laurie Anderson en la canción ‘Incarnadine', en una tradición de invitar a grandes músicos que, por ejemplo, está presente en su disco de 2020 “Artlessly Falling” con la presencia de Robert Wyatt. Halvorson señaló que “toda la música de “Cloudward” se compuso en 2022, principalmente en otoño e invierno, cuando las cosas empezaron a avanzar. La vida se sentía como una máquina chirriante que se pone en marcha de nuevo. Los viajes aéreos, por caóticos que fueran, se habían reanudado y una vez más estábamos envueltos en nubes. Las actuaciones, giras y grabaciones se produjeron después de una larga pausa y con un renovado sentido de gratitud. Esta banda, para mí, fue simplemente trabajar, tanto musical como personalmente, y lo principal que sentí mientras escribía la música fue optimismo”. Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el catálogo de Halvorson, para escucharla con el disco debut homónimo de su banda Code Girl, publicado en 2018 por el sello Firehouse 12. Como siempre, Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis el miércoles a las 10 y 20 horas -se repite el domingo a las 17-, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Tomas Fujiwara is a Brooklyn-based drummer and composer. Described as “a ubiquitous presence in the New York scene…an artist whose urbane writing is equal to his impressively nuanced drumming” (Troy Collins, Point of Departure), Tomas is an active player in some of the most exciting music of the current generation, with his bands Triple Double (with Gerald Cleaver, Mary Halvorson, Brandon Seabrook, Ralph Alessi, and Taylor Ho Bynum), Tomas Fujiwara & The Hook Up (with Jonathan Finlayson, Brian Settles, Halvorson, and Michael Formanek) and The Tomas Fujiwara Trio (with Alessi and Seabrook); his collaborative duo with cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum; the collective trio Thumbscrew (with Halvorson and Formanek); and a diversity of creative sideman work with forward thinking peers like Tomeka Reid and Matana Roberts. In The New York Times, Nate Chinen writes, “Drummer Tomas Fujiwara works with rhythm as a pliable substance, solid but ever shifting. His style is forward-driving but rarely blunt or aggressive, and never random. He has a way of spreading out the center of a pulse while setting up a rigorous scaffolding of restraint...A conception of the drum set as a full-canvas instrument, almost orchestral in its scope.” Support the show

"Pack Up, Coming For You" Tomas Fujiwara's Triple Double: March (Firehouse 12 Records, 2022) Tomas Fujiwara, Gerald Cleaver, Mary Halvorson, Brandon Seabrook, Ralph Alessi, Taylor Ho Bynum. El tema es una composición de Tomas Fujiwara. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que? La formación de March es un trío de pares de instrumentistas, o un doble trío de figuras de primer nivel y con una configuración no muy habitual: Tomas Fujiwara y Gerald Cleaver tocan la batería; Mary Halvorson y Brandon Seabrook la guitarra; Ralph Alessi y Taylor Ho Bynum la corneta, y el primero también la trompeta. Todos los temas del disco son en formación de doble trío, salvo el extenso "For Alan, Part II" que es un tema a dúo de los bateristas en homenaje a Alan Dawson, que llega casi a los dieciocho minutos de duración. El disco se grabó en 2019 en En Firehouse 12. En este local hay además de un estudio de grabación, un bar y un local de conciertos. También tienen un sello discográfico. La portada es obra de Megan Craig. Este tema va con una dedicatoria a Jorge: ¡recupérate pronto y a seguir haciendo mucho ruido!

Tomas Fujiwara is a Brooklyn-based drummer and composer. Described as “a ubiquitous presence in the New York scene…an artist whose urbane writing is equal to his impressively nuanced drumming” (Troy Collins, Point of Departure), Tomas is an active player in some of the most exciting music of the current generation, with his bands Triple Double (with Gerald Cleaver, Mary Halvorson, Brandon Seabrook, Ralph Alessi, and Taylor Ho Bynum), Tomas Fujiwara & The Hook Up (with Jonathan Finlayson, Brian Settles, Halvorson, and Michael Formanek) and The Tomas Fujiwara Trio (with Alessi and Seabrook); his collaborative duo with cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum; the collective trio Thumbscrew (with Halvorson and Formanek); and a diversity of creative sideman work with forward-thinking peers like Tomeka Reid and Matana Roberts. In The New York Times, Nate Chinen writes, “Drummer Tomas Fujiwara works with rhythm as a pliable substance, solid but ever-shifting. His style is forward-driving but rarely blunt or aggressive, and never random. He has a way of spreading out the center of a pulse while setting up a rigorous scaffolding of restraint...A conception of the drum set as a full-canvas instrument, almost orchestral in its scope.” Born and raised in Boston, MA, Tomas studied with legendary drummer and teacher Alan Dawson for eight years before moving to New York at the age of 17. He is currently a member of ensembles led by Taylor Ho Bynum, Mary Halvorson, Matana Roberts, Nicole Mitchell, Matt Bauder, and Tomeka Reid, in addition to projects with artists such as Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Michael Formanek, Ben Goldberg, and Benoit Delbecq, and has performed at festivals and venues across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. He also has many experiences outside the jazz realm, including a five-year run with the Off-Broadway show Stomp and performances with the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Fela!, featuring Patti Labelle and members of Antibalas.

How to be a good bandleader and how to deal with the pressure that comes with being a leader in any situation.Quotes from the show:“I realized music was much more than I had initially thought, it was much bigger. There were so many more possibilities.” – Mary Halvorson“I think there's a misconception that people who play experimental music only like experimental music or can't play other types of music and vice versa. I've found that that's often not the case.” – Mary Halvorson“I think of an academic career as an entrepreneurial career where you can always try something new if you want to try something new.” – Syd Finkelstein“We know, in so many walks of life, narrative flow and storytelling is everything.” – Syd Finkelstein“I've always found it un-intuitive to have music and then put lyrics in later.” – Mary Halvorson“I'm just writing music that I find exciting or that I think is beautiful or that I like and I think that tends to be a little bit left of center.” – Mary Halvorson“I'm very lucky to do music that I believe in.” – Mary Halvorson“What I've realized during this [quarantine] period is there's no substitute for live music. Doing live-stream performances is not a substitute for live music.” – Mary HalvorsonOn what advice Mary would give to her younger self: “Take your time with things and make sure to do things thoroughly … get really deep into something.” – Mary Halvorson“I think focusing on the process and not the end result is also a good thing to think about.” – Mary HalvorsonStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastMary HalvorsonWebsite: www.maryhalvorson.comSpotify: Mary HalvorsonYouTube Music: Mary HalvorsonFacebook: Mary HalvorsonSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry (www.podcastlaundry.com)

In questa puntata presentiamo tre notevoli album usciti di recente di tre figure di punta delle ultime generazioni dell'avanguardia d'oltre Atlantico: An UnRuly Manifesto del sassofonista James Brandon Lewis (Relative Pitch Records); Fly or Die II. Bird Dogs of Paradise della trombettista Jaimie Branch (International Anthem); Triple Double del batterista Tomas Fujiwara (Firehouse Records).

For episode 134, I talk to a cat whom I've known for a long time and should have been on the show ages ago. Tomas Fujiwara has been in New York since the mid 90s and has cut a most impressive career as a drummer, working with artists such as Matana Roberts, Mary Halvorson, Anthony Braxton and Taylor Ho Bynum. More recently, he's stepped out as a band leader and this Friday, his newest album  "Triple Double" comes out on the Firehouse 12 label. Tomas is a wonderful human being and I really, really enjoyed this conversation.

Drummer Tomas Fujiwara's new album with his band The Hook Up is called The Air Is Different (482 Music, 2012). In this interview, Fujiwara talks about his grandfather (pictured on the album cover) and his grandfather's influence on his life; the addition of bassist Trevor Dunn to the band; his varying methods of composition; and finding balance on the bandstand.
