Within the Rebel Spirits series, a resounding truth emerges: music born from improvisation demands both formidable technical prowess and a receptive, open-hearted approach. Enter 'Voice 'n' Drums,' a collaborative venture between Polish vocalist Ania Rybacka and Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg, representing a bold exploration of one of humanity's most powerful impulses—to connect.
Ania Rybacka steadfastly eschews the constraints of musical genres and labels, forging her path through the boundless realm of music with unbridled personal freedom. Her creative odyssey spans a spectrum, encompassing experimental endeavors like her 'Voice and Movement Encounters' and the electronic trio, Blueberry.
In stark contrast, Stefan Pasborg assumes the roles of bandleader, composer, and the visionary behind the artist-driven label, ILK Music. Among the many notable albums he recorder 'The Firebirds stand out -' a daring reinterpretation of Stravinsky's 'Firebird' for a trio, followed by the remarkable 'Ritual Dances,' a homage to the Rite of Spring, which underscores Pasborg's penchant for embracing risks and shouldering artistic responsibility.
'Voice 'n' Drums' stands as a markedly distinct project in Pasborg's portfolio. Drawing upon his profound sensitivity and adept mastery of empathetic collaboration, Pasborg weaves an intricate musical tapestry in response to Ania's intuitive offerings, engendering an exquisite and intimate dialogue.
In this illuminating interview, the artists candidly unveil the vulnerability they experienced while crafting music entirely through improvisation, a venture undertaken as a duo. Their insights offer a captivating glimpse into their creative process and infuse a vibrant vitality into the mesmerizing composition, 'Aurora,' which, in turn, invigorates our experience as listeners.
