This album is really special to us, and we want to do justice to all it entails. Rather than putting all the tracks on Spotify and be done with it, we want our listeners to experience this album in a way that they haven’t experienced an album before.
Malnoia is an unorthodox trio led by NYC-based pianist / composer Jorn Swart that mixes jazz and chamber music. Our first album was released in 2017 and described by Downbeat Magazine as a “seamless interplay of unusual sonorities”. Our other bandmembers are Benni von Gutzeit on viola and Lucas Pino on bass clarinet.
People have often commented on our music as having put vivid images in their minds, almost like telling a story. This sparked the idea to commission short stories for each of the tracks on the album. Jorn wrote two of the stories, and we commissioned 3 writers to write the other 8. These stories are loosely inspired by science-fiction film and literature, and explore themes like artificial intelligence, rapid technological changes, the meaning of art in a digital age, and generally: the future.
Jorn composes all of our music and leads the group. One exception is the track Tears in Rain from the soundtrack of Blade Runner, one of our all-time favorite movies.
one of the most captivating recordings of the year.
