Anemic Cinema by Artan Buleshkaj

Anemic Cinema is a fresh instrumental quartet at the junction of (free) improvised music, contemporary classical and heavy metal. Created for Citadelic 2020 by guitarist Artan Buleshkaj, it features some of Belgium’s most adventurous young improvisers.

The omission of a conventional bass instrument allows other instruments to assume this role (or not). This creates certain interesting compositional and improvisational challenges. The timbre distinct for (heavy) metal simultaneously provides an arousing stepping stone, enhancing the harmonics of modern jazz.

This all results in a listening experience equal parts visceral, hard-hitting and unpredictable.
