Using organic improvisational techniques, The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation are an improv sideline of members of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (who were among the absolute highlights of this years festival). Coming at their improvised ambient jazz from a more drone/doom-informed angle than that of their parental unit, TMFDJC revolves around the plaintive, occasionally eerie and often surprising subtle trombone of Hilary Jeffery as a lead instrument for the group’s cinematic soundscapes.
Squelchy, spaced-out and jittery, the echoing looped soundbed, spectral violin, humming guitar and dense, piercing electronics add a deep hypnotic feel to the colossal drone created by all the musicians as they break loose from whatever space, time or dimension they may find themselves.
After the seductive and slightly erotic Succubus soundtrack, and Anthropomorphic, a tryptich of improv recordings made during 2010, we can only guess what kind the sound and atmosphere, as well as movie, The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation will conceive at the Roadburn Festival Afterburner on Sunday, April 15th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
