Pangpang - Kisskiss Pangpang '2018

Tracks list

Håkon Norby Bjørgo´s description of 3 tracks from the album: Miso The
first tune on the album also happens to be the first tune I wrote with this band
in mind. In the last few years prior to writing it, I had mostly composed music
with a strong emphasis on chords and harmony - Wayne Shorters mid-60s records
being a key source of inspiration. A growing desire to write tunes with freer
structures and more emphasis on riffs and lines, coupled with a fondness for
John Coltrane, Atomic and Ornette Coleman, as well as Arnold Schönberg,
resulted in this tune. The melody is by no means based on the latters concept of
twelve-tone serialism, but rather inspired by the rich chromaticism of his
earlier works. Nostalgia Isnt What It Used To Be This tune - essentially a six
minute crescendo - features Sanders soloing over a series of modulating odd
metre riffs. Theres definitely a retro vibe going on, which the ironic title -
not of my invention - references. Sun Ra and Gongs early 70s albums provided the
initial spark of inspiration that resulted in this tune. Mexican Standoff
Mexican Standoff has a definitive Ennio Morricone flavour to it, stemming from
my long standing affection for his iconic film scores. Growing up, Id watch
Sergio Leones The Good, The Bad and The Ugly tirelessly, Morricones music being
a major part of the appeal. The fact that the last ten minutes of the film were
missing from my VHS did little to lessen my appetite - the visuals, the
atmospheres and the music made me come back again and again anyway.
