Very pleased to say that next up in the quiet details series, with a fantastic interpretation of the idea, is Jordan Czamanski, here as Jordan GCZ. So pleased to share this with you - an incredible example of where the quiet details idea can go in such talented hands.

Well-known in the house and techno worlds for his unique left-field take on the dancefloor, plus many collaborations as Juju and Jordash (with Gal Aner), Magic Mountain High (with Gal and David Moufang (Move D)), The High On Wye Quintet (with Gal, David, Michel Baumann and Steevio), The Mullhollen Free Clinic (with Gal, David and Johan Sharp), Terrence Dixon and more.

Plus releases on the likes of Dekmantel, Rush Hour, Further Records, Source Records, Minimal Detroit Audio, Rawax and more - the love and respect for Jordan is there for all to see.

A master of live performance and studio improvisation, Jordan’s skill and artistry on his collection of hardware machines has few parallels. This technical proficiency is only matched by his profound musicality, fusing influences from many corners, from free jazz to classic Chicago house and Detroit techno to kosmische and beyond.

Hope isn’t a Four Letter Word is Jordan taking all these influences and experiences creating something completely himself, taking the listener into orbit and back again in a haze of texture and streams of musical consciousness.
Starting with glassy DX7 nostalgia, his ability to compose deeply evocative melodic and harmonic structures is laid bare from the first note. Then comes the melodica and we’re in, Jordan showing his lyrical and beautifully mournful phrasing, creating something entirely hypnotising.

From there and throughout the album we’re treated to a masterclass in psychedelic electronic excursions, those digital textures and melodica mix with analogue synths and Fender Rhodes - all the time the humanity of his live playing coming through so powerfully - we could be there watching him perform this, the awe of his perfectly judged jazz-infused virtuosity.

Sequenced as a proper album should be, we travel through many places - a story told through melody, otherworldly ambiences, percussive drive and so much more.

Huge thanks to Jordan, a truly excellent addition to the series.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Jordan which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.

The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, representing the music in its purest form.
