@jcmusix1 appreciate the kind words, and looking forward to Orlando! It will be a bit tight getting there right after these Europe concerts but as long as there are no crazy storms I should make it 😄 Do say hi!

Thanks for listening, glad there was an enjoyable moment in there for you!

@@openlandmusic You're fishing. You know the whole thing is good, but I particularly liked the transition that follows here up to roughly 5:11.

@@TheSoteriologist not fishing at all actually, what I have learned from hundreds of concerts in hundreds of different places is that to assume I have any clue at all about how people are experiencing the music is completely foolish. It's always amazing to learn how different people hear/experience/cognize a piece of music because the range of ways of perceiving the same piece of music seems to be virtually endless. Of course anything I put out is something that I feel is good and I firmly stand behind it regardless of what anyone thinks, but it's also mind-expanding for me to glean any insights into how others' relate to and experience a given song...so thanks for sharing! I used to think that when listening to a piece of music we all basically were hearing the same thing and the differentiation was just in how much or little we each like it. After years of talking to different people after concerts I've come to understand that, metaphorically speaking, what one person might perceive as the color red, someone else may perceive as a dishwasher from Neptune...it's that all over the map, or even more. But I still think it's cool that despite that, it's still possible to have a room full of people all mostly enjoying and getting something out of a live performance, or a group of people spread out over the world all enjoying the same track, each in their own wildly different ways.

​@@openlandmusic Haha, yes. Well, I don't think its as extreme as dishwashers from Neptune unless the listener be on 300 + ug. Likely it's more like the signature fits his mood or personality type. As for myself in this case, that slapping the guitar to produce the testosterone driveness or sense of "traveling under time pressure" here reminded me of my teenage years when Level 42 became big and this thumb slapping the bass line was a new idea. Then there is the sense of relaxation or spaciousness at that time stamp and also, for a moment, at 3:16. To me it feels a little like a deliverance from the paranoia into a sense of ecstatic flight instead of running.

Thanks so much @ukewilliamania! Glad you're digging it! We love playing this one.

Thanks for taking the time to listen Frode! Wish we had some shows in Norway. Feel like a quick trip to Riga in February? 😄

@openlandmusic what a splendid idea! I'll make sure to play the lottery...

@@frodeleirvik 😆

Thanks @HaroonRahman! Appreciate you checking it out!

Same, I still watch it occasionally.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and for the kind words! New trio version of this piece on the way soon here...

Haha "Space Funk at its Finest" - I'll take it! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out JD!

@@openlandmusic When you drop new music I place it in my cue to hear it! I respect originality and innovation. So grateful and glad to witness yours!

So glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for listening!

Thanks so much Julien! So grateful you'll be there to help it sound its best live!! Hugely looking forward!

Indeed it is The Beast! (custom made by Wade Sylvester, with tech from Paul Vo.) And yeah, can't speak for the other guys but I know for me this one actually does take some significant physical effort! Thanks for listening Tim!

@@openlandmusic Cool! Idk ..looked like all of you were working pretty hard😉 Happy 4th of July 🧨🎆

Thanks so much, glad you enjoy this one! More on the way for sure!

😂 hope you find what you’re looking for!

@@openlandmusic I find without looking. For instance in your other music.

@@TheSoteriologist happy to hear that! I realize the trio stuff is a bit different from my other stuff. There's non-trio stuff in the works as well, so stay tuned : )

@@openlandmusic It's not that - remember my comment under "41" which I adore. It's just that I have a problem with especially high saxes if they come off aggressively.

With the immense number of Master musicians today, I'm easily bored until I come across something like this. I was transfixed from beginning to end with this virtuosic display of musicians musicians music, world class Masters who have achieved the Pinnacle of their art. Thanks for posting.

@Qpidon the song is named Slow Burn (album version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2nFZaOJedGUgpY) - the visuals were put together by Charley Voorhis to go with the song for this live performance. I don't think the footage exists on its own as a "movie" anywhere or has a name, though you'd have to ask Charley!

Thank you! Very excited to start playing live with this trio! And thanks for the interest in an album. It's an extremely challenging time to make recording and releasing music work, since costs are higher than ever and any income that existed before is now zero thanks to streaming...so it basically requires having a huge pile of money to burn for fun. I still really like making albums so I'm trying my best to work toward that. I have a couple singles available at least temporarily (www.ianethancase.bandcamp.com) and a few more that are recorded or mostly recorded, so I hope we can at least put out a trio EP this year.

Haha thank you for listening and the continual support Frode, and wow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Glad we got the timing right haha!

@@openlandmusic , thank you very much! Always a pleasure to follow you!

Wow, thank you for listening so deeply and appreciating all of those aspects of the piece. I've gradually learned that most people tend to only pick up on one or two things at once (out of a hundred) so it's really special to get an indication when someone is hearing a piece in a more complete way like that! Glad you are finding it enjoyable and thank you for the nice note!

Many thanks for the kind words and for wanting to make it to a concert in France! I am very much aiming to focus a lot more on playing in Europe from now on, and it's a big goal to bring the trio over as often as possible for as long as possible - hopefully soon!

Thanks so much Erik, yes I absolutely love Steve Reich!! The drumming connection as it relates to composition is kinda where I'm coming from too, like him I think. Fun to know you're a fan of his work!

Thank you Slava! Appreciate you taking the time to listen!

@@openlandmusic Thanks for the great music! I've been waiting for a video on this channel since 2018))

@@SlavaSSaw thank you for hanging in there, I know it's been a while - some tricky years to navigate! But there should start to be more stuff coming out again now 👍👍

@@openlandmusic Looking forward to enjoying it) Thx!

Thank you for the deep listening and feeling!

Thanks so much Frode! One step closer to hopefully getting to play this stuff in Norway someday soon :P

Thanks for listening Bernard!

@@openlandmusic You're welcome. Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much Simon!

Thanks so much Tony, and thanks to you both for the early listening test! Maybe a Glastonbury concert can happen this year sometime. I can definitely hear strings on this piece :P

Thank you for the kind words, happy to know you're enjoying this! These guys are a blast to play with!

@@openlandmusic solo and with the different "instrument operators" as you use to call a musician haha ^^, never failed to amaze me ! From Running toward the Mountains preview video on Candyrat record, to Earth Suite... I will never stop being amazed by the unique technique of double-neck tapping you developped, (if I can call it this way). It gives so much unique ideas where melody and rythm, I find, are much more linked together !! Sooo, thank you for the journey ! And all the best for what is up next ! :-D

@@Zigotoy_3234thanks so much for being part of this whole journey since Run Toward The Mountains, I appreciate that a lot and it's great to have you with us!!

💫🏞 and we keep that rolling 🤩

Thanks so much Mitchel, glad you’re enjoying the trio! Several more songs coming very soon here, recording some more this week!

Thank you so much, hope we get to play for you live soon!

So glad to hear that, yes I hope this music helps us all stay positive and charging forward in 2024! (I know I need it!)

Thanks Simon! Glad you saw/heard it here too, quality is better here I think compared to some of those other platforms :P

@@openlandmusic love actually seeing you guys play it -- adds a whole nother dimension! 🔥🔥🔥

haha I appreciate it! Thanks for listening, more on the way soon hopefully!

thank you for your deep listening, good ideas, and awesome attitude Julien! Can't wait to do more together!

Thank you! So honored to play with these guys. We need to do a ton of live playing before I feel we'll be ready to record the album, but in the shorter term I hope we'll be able to do an EP in addition to recording some live shows, we'll see! One way or another I do plan to do a lot of recording in 2024, it's time :P Thanks so much for the interest and glad you are liking the trio so far!

haha thank you! Happy New Year to you as well, and I hope we'll be playing for you in Germany soon!
