about
Presented by BEN PEROWSKY
Featuring Guest Appearances by JOAN WASSER (Joan As Policewoman), BEBEL GILBERTO, MIHO HATORI (Cibo Matto), ELYSIAN FIELDS & STEVEN BERNSTEIN
Toiling away in his free time like a mad sonic scientist, drummer/composer Ben Perowsky has brought to life the Moodswing Orchestra, a creation much prettier than Frankenstein’s monster but no less hand-stitched in the laboratory. Featuring a host of NYC’s finest songsters and improvisers, Moodswing carves a bipolar path between hypnotic grooves and body-shaking trances. When offering inspiration to the diverse cast, Perowsky gave his collaborators one guiding edict: “Less Herbie, more Eno” and never had to offer any further direction. Perowsky is no stranger to aural collage. It’s been two decades since he co-founded the groundbreaking jazz/rock/hip-hop group Lost Tribe, and in the interim he’s bounced effortlessly between genres – as a first-call drummer for jazz artists like John Zorn, John Scofield, Dave Douglas and Uri Caine or as a contributor to rock acts like Elysian Fields, Joan as Policewoman and 101 Crustaceans or clocking session and road time with Rickie Lee Jones, Walter Becker, John Cale, Hercules & Love Affair, Rufus Wainwright, Belle And Sebastian, etc.
Press:
“The resultant sonic bath of swirling moody ambience and sensuous vocalismo sounds superbly seductive…A total sonic environment that can serve as the soundtrack to any movie you care to create for it.”
- Fort Worth Weekly
“A force that can’t be denied”
- Under the Radar
“A seductive sonic alloy…Soothing jams with striking originality and exceptional musicianship”
- Alarm Magazine
"Angular trip-hop improvisations lay the framework for hesitating and haunted female vocals."
- Village Voice
“ESSENTIAL…sounds more like Massive Attack than anything resembling jazz…Moodswing manages to mesmerize and thrill at the same time”
– Boston Globe
