No Room For Squares Session 28 – Devin Gray – Most Definitely (2023)
December 18, 2023 @ 6:30 PM – 11:59 PM
Devin Gray – “Most Definitely ” (Rataplan Records 2023)
For this session we’ll have the talented Berlin-based Devin Gray as guest, for a Q&A after we’ll listen together to his latest release: “My music is a result of deliberate experimental decisions which often obscure common musical practices, all the while trying to weave in spontaneous forms from the fringes.” Individual track’s stories deliver unique musical moods: Blues (in the standard form), diverse textures such as ASMR, and hints of “A Night In Tunisia” mixed with industrial acoustic Autechre inspirations.
«‘Most Definitely’ is an example of just how creative a musician can be with a set of drums and a few additions. Gray explores what he believes the world needs more of – sonic energy. In twenty-three tracks, mostly delivered at speed, Gray proves he is continually thinking outside conventional boxes in terms of percussive sounds and rhythm variations. The patterns interweave and create remarkable twists, and alterations of hue and volume that work together to form a mesmeric soundscape splashed with tonal colour and textural variation. The creativity is astounding, and the tracks include barely-whispered sections to thunking, booming timpanic episodes.» (Sammy Stein)
