説明
CadenzaやPlanet E等で異彩を放つベテランEduardo de la CalleやDJ Surgeles、ジャズ奏者陣が結成し、エレクトロニクスとジャズの即興的交歓を繰り広げるEP『Time Pawn』
地下アンダーグラウンド・シーンの重鎮Eduardo de la CalleとオランダのDJ Surgelesが、ピアニストFabio Giachinoら実力派ジャズ・ミュージシャンとともに始動したプロジェクトTelemaco Xavier Quintet。
Apneaレーベルより登場した本作は、単なるジャンルの融合にとどまらず、即興性と電子的なアプローチがリアルタイムに交錯する実験的かつ洗練されたサウンドを展開。
Fabio Giachinoの自由に舞うピアノラインや緻密な生楽器の演奏が、脈動する電子音と摩擦・調和を起こしながら躍動する、フューチャー・ジャズ〜ディープ・ハウス／エレクトロニカの境界を跨ぐ秀逸な1枚。

Eduardo de la Calle and DJ Surgeles meet Fabio Giachino, David Strike, and Manu Melero Amaya in Telmaco Xavier Quintet, a project where jazz and electronics engage in a real-time exchange rather than a controlled experiment. Set for release on Apnea 115 in May 2025, Time Pawn is built on interaction--musicians and machines reacting to each other, shifting between structure and instinct. Eduardo and Surgeles don't frame jazz within an electronic grid, nor do they treat electronic textures as a decorative layer. Instead, they allow both elements to retain their full character, pushing and pulling in ways that never settle into easy resolutions. Fabio Giachino's piano moves freely, alternately threading through and cutting across the pulse. David Strike and Manu Melero Amaya bring movement that resists the obvious, allowing groove to exist without being locked in place. The result isn't about merging styles but letting them exist in the same space--sometimes in harmony, sometimes in friction, always in motion.
