John Derek Bishop, Inge Weatherhead Breistein - Drømmekraft (2025) [Hi-Res]

The critically acclaimed duo John Derek Bishop (sampling, electronics) and Inge Weatherhead Breistein (saxophones) release their third album on Jazzland Recordings. “Drømmekraft” continues their distinctive sonic universe, where Breistein’s saxophone tones are transformed through Bishop’s sound manipulations into a cinematic and immersive listening experience. Their music flows between Nordic jazz, ambient, experimental electronica, and contemporary music, moving seamlessly from the melodic to the abstract. Through unconventional loops, pulsating rhythms, and detailed soundscapes, the duo creates a universe that both challenges and soothes the listener. Field recordings of rivers, waterfalls, forests, and animals are blended with layers of processed saxophone textures, showcasing Breistein’s broad tonal palette – from baritone and tenor to soprano saxophone. The music is both improvised and composed. Bishop paints vast sonic landscapes that take on a life of their own, while Breistein’s melodies and wind textures provide an organic anchor. Drømmekraft is a meditative and expansive journey where the sacred meets the industrial, the digital meets the acoustic, and the Nordic meets the futuristic. Since their debut album in 2018, the duo has toured extensively across Germany, England, and Norway. With Drømmekraft, they cement their position as one of the most innovative constellations at the intersection of jazz and electronic music.
