About Metamorphic Rock / Special Offer / Interview

Since releasing their widely acclaimed debut CD manifest deNsity (MJR028) in 2009, Seattle’s MORAINE have quickly built a reputation as one of the most electrifying and original instrumental rock bands anywhere, winning over listeners across the globe with their unique amalgam of art rock, forward-thinking jazz, world music, and more. The band up the ante with their highly anticipated new release Metamorphic Rock: Live at NEARfest, a blazing concert performance engineered for maximum sonic impact by legendary Pacific Northwest producer Steve Fisk. Captured in peak form at NEARfest 2010, Moraine wowed listeners with their inventive compositions, formidable musicianship, and tightly meshed interplay. Documenting a major advance in the group’s evolution from their chamber-rock origins toward a more forceful and dynamic sound, Metamorphic Rock consists largely of new and previously unreleased material, augmented by a number of radically retooled tunes from manifest deNsityMetamorphic Rock amply demonstrates that MORAINE, like their geological namesake, are truly a force of nature.

For the most part I pursue these two interests separately, though I always allow room for improvisation even in my most tightly arranged works. Moraine, for example, combines rigorously composed ensemble passages with ample stretches of individual and group improvisation, which I suppose tilts us closer to jazz than your typical prog-rock band....." Read more....
