<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMallory Chipman & the Mystics is the latest brainchild of Edmonton vocalist\/composer, Mallory Chipman. This project fuses Mallory\u2019s improvisational sensibilities with jazz harmony, the unconventionality of progressive rock, and a pinch of psychedelic fairy dust. Their debut album AQUARIAN is set for release in early 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wrote all of the tunes at Moose Farm Studio over the past year, and we recorded it at OCL Studios just over a month ago, and I am STOKED, pals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you who know me, I\u2019m forever a rock and roller at heart, but I also looooove improvisation and chromatic harmony and progressive song forms, so I decided to start a band that plays my original music that fuses all of those whacky and wonderful things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This record is pretty politically charged, and really, in my opinion, it is a call to action to be engaged with the world around you and the worlds within you. It is a combination of influences that just feels like \u201cme\u201d, and I couldn\u2019t be more excited about it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Mystic Mind Suite, a commissioned work for the Orchestre National de Jazz de Montreal by Jean-Nicolas Trottier, evolves as an unfolding sonic motif, from a single sound into an elaborate orchestral arrangement. It chronicles how an idea becomes a word, and then develops into an image in the mind\u2019s eye, travelling through billions of synapses in the meanders of the river of our consciousness. Searching for a strong dynamic between soloists and the orchestra, he entrusts the virtuosity and thematic evolution to Yannick Rieu, Rafael Zaldivar and Sylvain Provost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMystic Mind<\/em> est un voyage inspir\u00e9 et inspirant dans une sorte de m\u00e9taphysique sonore qui n\u2019a heureusement rien du pelletage de nuages th\u00e9orique. Trottier s\u2019amuse avec des th\u00e8mes et des motifs dont il fait permuter les textures, les reflets et les \u00e9clats selon leur passage dans les diff\u00e9rentes sections de l\u2019orchestre. Les espaces de libert\u00e9 octroy\u00e9s aux trois solistes (exceptionnels) qui sont en vedette, sont importants mais bien int\u00e9gr\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019ensemble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u2014Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Cardin, ICI Musique Radio-Canada Two fantastic musicians here at Bent River Records have two brand new very mystical projects (wink,wink).
