Lance Gurisik: Proffer review | Contemporary album of the month by John Lewis
The Australian composer’s latest offering is a mashup of electronica, minimalism, drum’n’bass and more – but it’s the orchestral tracks that really shine
In recent years, Australian composer Lance Gurisik has scored various short films and TV shows, written high-profile advertising jingles and soundscapes for an audio design agency called Song Zu, and produced dance music under the name Lancelot. Lehto/Korpi(released 30 August on We Jazz) sees Pauli Lyytinen multi-tracking himself on tenor, soprano and alto saxes, harmonising and improvising over field recordings made in the countryside of his native Finland, along with dense choral arrangements played on a mellotron. Swiss bassist Martina Berther makes haunting sounds from her bass guitar using unorthodox techniques – rubbing other instruments against its strings and preparing it with clips and mutes to create eerie harmonics.
