Joseph P Hradisky Jr - Misnight
Alternative/Alt. Rock, Instrumental, Experimental
New York, United States
Overall Impression: A rather unconventional approach and unbridled sense of creative expression help make "MISNIGHT" feel unlike anything you've quite heard before, and I rather like it! Best described as an electro-infused foray into avant-garde jazz-flavored prog experimentalism, Joseph P Hradisky Jr has whisked up a rather out-there sounding instrumental that confidently casts away typical genre convention and instead opts to keep listeners firmly on their toes in a world of unexpected melodic twists and turns and towering harmonic uncertainty.
Strongest Point(s): There is a definite intensity and feeling of spontaneity to the music that manages to effectively play with listeners' expectations, this gives the instrumental particular freedom and allows it to basically change direction as it sees fit, a common staple of the free jazz genre. The back and forth interplay between the two lead instruments helps establish some form of rhythmic and melodic movement, that whilst certainly free-flowing in nature, still manages to inject a hearty dose of excitement and intrigue into the track that feels gloriously hectic in nature.
Target Audience Appeal: This is rather a difficult track to try and pigeonhole, but I certainly think that's a good thing! Free jazz and experimental prog lovers will most likely connect with this track.
Artist target suggestions: Archie Schepp, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Don Cherry, Schlomo, Anthony Braxton, Arca, Infected Mushroom, Venetian Snares, Autechre
