Night Music by ~Nois

~Nois has performed Emma’s Night Music for the past three years, and we wanted to document the gorgeous, driving rhythms in that piece. We wanted to do something different with this release by pairing the original recording with a contrasting remix. We asked Emma if she had any thoughts on a remixer, and she suggested the phenomenal creator Darian Thomas. We have long admired Darian's music, but had never had the chance to meet him, so we were thrilled by the idea; Darian’s fluency in the neon colors of popular culture, and his ability to wield that tonal language to express musical depth, felt like the perfect way to explore the popular music influence in Emma’s work. This recording is the first of many recordings that ~Nois will release that are mixed and mastered by our friend Mike Tierney of Shiny Things Studio. With Mike, we are exploring a different soundscape from our first recording, the 2020 album Is This ~Nois, and we are so excited for this to be the first release from that sonic world.

~Nois is a Chicago-based saxophone quartet making music on the boundary of contemporary classical music and improvisation. Think *NSYNC meets John Zorn and you are probably close to the right thing...
