The brainchild of Swedish musicians Mats Gustafsson (saxophone), Johan Berthling (bass), and Andreas Werliin (drums), Fire! Orchestra has grown into a formidable collective that defies conventional genre boundaries, developing a fresh approach to improvised music that drew on influences ranging from free jazz, psychedelic rock, post-bop, noise, krautrock, and dub. Now in its 14th year, the unique and constantly evolving Fire! Orchestra returns with its most ambitious work to date, featuring a predominantly Scandinavian cast with a heavy French infusion. While the popular and widely praised 'Arrival' (2019) is a highlight in the band’s catalogue, this monumental version building on the triple album 'Echoes' ups the ante. Recorded with a staggering 43 musicians at the legendary Atlantis studio in Stockholm and beautifully mixed by Jim O’Rourke, ‘Echoes’ comes across as a very open, breathing, organic, detailed and dynamic album. It captures the raw energy and intricate arrangements of the group, delivering a listening experience that is both profound and exhilarating. Their performances go beyond traditional concerts, offering a compelling showcase of their technical mastery and deep commitment to artistic exploration. Each performance by the Orchestra redefines the possibilities of modern music, establishing them as one of the most innovative and captivating ensembles on the global stage and a key force in the evolution of contemporary music.
