On this epic, double concept album, easily their most ambitious yet,
Motorpsycho
has assembled the cream of classical and jazz musicians from world class ensembles established in Trondheim, their hometown.
The Death Defying Unicorn
was first commissioned by Molde International Jazzfestival for their 50th anniversary in 2010 where it was performed on the main outdoor stage. This, however, has been partly re-arranged, refined and recorded from scratch at Propeller Studios in Oslo with
Kåre Chr. Vestrheim
once again co-producing as he did with
Heavy Metal Fruit
.
Ståle Storløkken
(
Supersilent
,
Elephant9
,
Humcrush
,
Terje Rypdal
) is considered one of Norway's top keyboardists, but here he comes into his full as a writer and not at least arranger of the two ensembles. His contributions to this album cannot be stressed enough. Among the players in
Trondheim Jazz Orchestra
are well-known names such as
Kjetil Møster
(
Ultralyd
),
André Roligheten
(
Albatrosh
) and
Mathias Eick
, not to forget star violinist
Ola Kvernberg
. Most bands will reach a creative peak at a certain point in their career, after which they simply continue in a less interesting fashion before eventually calling it a day. Not so with Motorpsycho. After more than 20 years, they continue to develop and to challenge themselves artistically. Motorpsycho was founded in Trondheim by mainstays
Bent Sæther
and
Hans Magnus Ryan
. Drummer
Håkon Gebhard
joined them after their first album and stayed until 2005.
Kenneth Kapstad
took over the stool for
Little Lucid Moments
in 2008.
Kim Hiorthøy
is, as always, responsible for the artwork, this time joined by artist
Thore Hansen
for the fantastic inside illustration.
