Album Notes

The Music of Fuzz Noir has something to do with images. That is, when listening to it, associative thoughts start to develop, which a lot of times manifest themselves as images, pictures of landscapes, people, coming into existance in the mind´s eye.
Try to imagine a score, where voices are not just oriented at the coordinate plane of pitch and meter, but depending on meaning and intensity of playing, bulge into depth or constrict, creating “space-time”. With gravitation fields, magnetic fields, potatoe fields, football fields, oil fields, battlefields, mine fields etc.
The Music of Fuzz Noir reflecting reality becomes the concave mirror, it gets to the point occasionally exploding. Indeed, the rhythmic structures are complex and forms are boldly disposed but on an emotional level things are roughed up.
The design of the compositions allows space for advancements during realization, personality and function of each musician are equal with all difference in character. They deliberately react to oneanother leading musical conversations of the highest level.

Founded in 2004 „Fuzz Noir“, that is Raphael Preuschl (bass), Peter Rom (guit), Michael Prowaznik (drums) and Wolfgang Schiftner (sax), released the Debut-CD „Uarrgh2“ on JazzWerkstatt-Records. Listen and see!
