   About Karl OFF









Some words:

Karl OFF combines classical instuments like doublebass, clarinet, violin, cello, piano , ... with new technologies to produce a "cinematic space pop jazz". . For this first album called "acoustic camera", he has worked with musicians like Jean-Louis Rassinfosse, Charles Loos, Felix Simtaine, Jan Kuijken, George Van Dam, ... . He has also met Samy Birnbach (Minimal Compact) aka Dj Morpheus who has wrote and sung one of the most beautiful and melancholic songs of the Lp: "The Absence". "Acoustic Camera" is available now on iTunes, VirginMega.fr, FnacMusic, emusic, ... , or you can purchase the cd @ the label webstore.




Some press reviews:

"Cinematic Orchestra is met hun nieuwste plaat afgeweken van de door henzelf platgetreden paden op het kruispunt van klassieke kamermuziek, jazz en luisterelektronica. Hun plaats wordt door Karl Off overtuigend ingenomen. Zowel op de plaat met de originele nieuwe nummers van Karl Off als op de bijgeleverde remixen is de invloed onmiskenbaar. Dat houdt in een relaxt uiterst zorgvuldig geproducet en technisch vlekkeloos uitgevoerd geluid dat het midden houdt tussen laidback jazz en de meer improviserende variant, tussen dub en midtempo lounge, tussen het geluid van organische instrumenten en dat van digitale elektronische apparatuur. De originele cd is de gepaste soundtrack bij een weemoedig ontverantwoordelijk onthaastingsweekend. Het is overigens ook echt visueel sterke voor verfilming geschikte muziek. De zeer gevariëerde remixplaat lonkt vanzelfsprekend meer naar de dansvloer, zonder het oog voor compositie, noch de aandacht voor rokerige sfeer en hartelijke warmte uit het oog te verliezen. Een buitenbeentje maar niet direct het betere nummer is "The Absence" omdat de in downtempokringen legendarische Samy Birnbach, alias DJ Morpheus, er de stem bij levert. 'Acoustic Camera' is de (vanzelf)sprekende titel van dit geslaagde uitstapje van onze Franstalige (vooralsnog) landgenoot Olivier Desir, die een resem vrienden-muzikanten rond zich verzameld heeft, waarmee ze samen piano, viool, cello en klarinet synchroniseren met breaks en grooves. Eén van de best geslaagde remixen is van Pink Satellite, het hoofdproject van Desir en maatje, waarmee ze meteen aantonen hoe veelzijdig ze met eigen materiaal weten om te gaan." (www.soundslike.be)

"Alles zit in de titel en de swing van de actuele en levende jazz. De meesters van de muziek bezorgen je de soundtrack van je leven. De contrabas van Rassinfosse neemt je mee, de toetsen van Karl of van Charles Loos brengen je van de wijs, zonder de beats van Simstaine of Lesire en natuurlijk de zang van Mr Dré en het machtige 'The Absence', gebracht door Samy aka dj Morpheus, de stem van Minimal Compact, te vergeten. En als toppunt van dit plezier voor het oor vergezelt een tweede cd dit eerste juweeltje, met enkele remixen die hard aankomen, waaronder die van On/Off of Pink Satellite, om maar die te noemen." (The Ticket)

Tout est dans le titre et dans le swing d'un jazz actuel et vivant. Quand les maîtres de musique vous offrent la bande-son du film de votre vie. La double basse de Rassinfosse vous transporte, les claviers de Karl ou de Charles Loos vous chavirent, sans oublier les beats de Simstaine ou de Lesire et bien sûr les chants avec Mr Dré et le superbe 'The Absence' interprété par Samy aka dj Morpheus, la voix de Minimal Compact. Et comble du bonheur phonique, un second cd accompagne ce premier bijou sonore, proposant quelques remix du meilleur effet, dont ceux de On/Off, ou Pink Satellite entre autres." (The Ticket)

"Ein Projekt, das stringent cool Jazz, Art-Pop und akustische Avantgarde verbindet, nennt sich Karl Off, kommt aus Belgien und setzt die Tradition Aksak Maboul (das Ur-Projekt des SSR und Crammed-Disk-Gründers Mark Hollander), fort, nur wird die orffsche Partitur auf „Acoustic Camera“ (Anorak Supersport) um wenige aber slicke jazzige Streicheleinheiten und ein String-Quartett erweitert." (Groove Magazine - Autor: Michael Reinboth)

"It’s alive! Karl OFF has created an undead lounge Frankenstein. With a bossa nova heart, experimental brain, and space-age hips, this mellow monstrosity wouldn't be out of place in a David Lynch film. Press play and start dancing backwards around your favorite red room". (MusicDownload.com)
