LISTEN :: Chicago Odense Ensemble – "Soup" [ft. members of Tortoise]

Jun 22, 2010, 2:47pm Music for Perfect People
LISTEN :: Chicago Odense Ensemble – "Soup" [ft. members of Tortoise] The Chicago Odense Ensemble are readying the release of their self-titled album and while there isn't a solid date set , I do know it will be out via Adluna . As for the group, it consists of Rob Mazurek (Exploding Star Orchestra, Chicago Underground Duo, Isotope217), Dan Bitney (Tortoise), Jeff Parker (Tortoise), Matt Lux (Isotope 217), Brian Keigher (DJ Warp), Jonas Munk (Causa Sui) and Jakob Skott (Causa Sui).

Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra

Feb 4, 2008, 7:30am Michael Patrick Brady
Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra My review of Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra ran today at PopMatters . I've been following the work of Rob Mazurek for some time now, and was a huge fan of both his 2007 releases, the Exploding Star Orchestra debut We Are All From Somewhere Else and the Chicago Underground Trio's Chronicle . On this record, he brings back the spacey Chicago-based Exploding Star Orchestra to serve as fodder for the legendary trumpeter Bill Dixon. [...]

The Best Albums Of 2007

Dec 21, 2007, 2:07am Under The Rotunda
And, thus, 2007 comes to a close. This was a fantastic year for music, with several of the best albums of the decade so far seeing their release. 2007 blows last year out of the water as far as I'm concerned, and it has made for many hours of happy listening. With this final feature, Under The Rotunda will be on break for two weeks until the new year rolls in. Well, a little bit after the new year rolls in -- I'll be back January 7th, to be exact. Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, enjoy [...]

Thanks to all who listened! That's the last of me on the radio until the new year (I won't be back until late January), so thanks to everyone who's been tuning in. Things will only be getting better next semester, with a new weekly time slot (no more of this bi-weekly foolishness). Also on the plate for "Under The Rotunda Live" next semester: we've got some tasty interviews lined up. It's only going to get better from here, gang.

Exploding Star Orchestra, We Are All From Somewhere Else (Thrill Jockey)

Feb 8, 2007, 2:45am mapsadaisical
Exploding Star Orchestra, We Are All From Somewhere Else (Thrill Jockey) The Exploding Star Orchestra is a newly discovered formation in the Chicago Underground galaxy. Cornettist Rob Mazurek appears to be stargazer-in-chief, and various Tortoises are of course involved (John McEntire, John Hernden, Jeff Parker). In total, 14 musicians, excluding the electric eels, are involved in this nebulous concept album about, as far as I can work out, the transformation of a stingray into a star. Birds are involved in the story, as are those eels. I'm not sure that knowing any of this helps, but it gave me a laugh typing it. [...]

New Music: Exploding Star Orchestra, Arbouretum, Mark Fry Exploding Star Orchestra - Cosmic Tomes for Sleep Walking Lovers: Part 2 (Thrill Jockey 2007) Exploding Star Orchestra – We Are All From Somewhere Else / Thrill Jockey In 2005 the amazing Chicago-based cornetist Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground, Sao Paulo Underground) was asked by The Chicago Cultural Center and the Jazz Institute to put together a group of local musicians to truly capture the bubbling avant-garde jazz scene of the windy city. Mazurek, being the prolific musician and project-concocter he is, really outdid himself by bringing [...]
