{"product_id":"016728165822-folks","title":"RUSS LOSSING | FOLKS","description":"The idea that the creation of an infinite number of melodies is attainable from just 12 tones has always fascinated me. Additionally, I find it intriguing that folk music, the traditional music of the people in a country or region, is strikingly analogous in it's raw melodic content despite developing in relative isolation to one another over hundreds of years. As I composed the music for this album, I had the idea of folk melodies in mind: minimal but not minimalistic - simple but not simplistic - miniature melodic moments; specifically crafted for skilled improvisers to instantly absorb and interpret. Apart from the composed melodic content, this music was fully improvised without frameworks or forms. \/\/ The melodies set the tone for group improvisation. Heaven Above\" is the only exception, in which the improvisations occur within a circular form over a predetermined harmonic sequence and tempo. \/\/ John, Michael and I have been playing together for several decades resulting in a deep, nearly telepathic, musical connection.\"","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":67811467886892,"sku":"al-016728165822","price":42.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/4101964-2839275.jpg?v=1794197104","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/016728165822-folks","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
