about

Perlin Noise is an algorithm which allows computer graphics artists to represent the complexity of natural phenomena in visual effects and is often used in the creation of computer-generated visual elements.

Through the compositions of bassist of Alessandro Vicard, The Perlin Noise Quintet translates this idea into acoustic terms, the sonic results expressed in composed and improvised music.

Irene Kepl: violin
Stephanie Schoiswohl: alto saxophone
Villy Paraskevopoulos: piano
Alessandro Vicard: double bass
Mark Holub: drums

“Kepl’s manifold skills join with the five players of Perlin Noise in creating expansive orchestral colours...Holub’s dramatically shaped patterns and pulses on "Melodia" give way to a low-pitched violin-piano showcase that could be a mini-concerto. In contrast the title tune’s exposition is scattered among Rock, Swing and march inferences that ratchet at 78 rpm of silent-movie-frame speeds. Most characteristically, Vicard’s walking bass thumps contrast enough with Kepl’s high-pitched spiccato stops on "Cellula" to suggest both gypsy Jazz and layered ensemble colouring until the tune climaxes with downward sliding concurrence...As erudite as they are entertaining.” - Ken Waxman, JazzWord

“A warm, highly-flavoured sound, strewn with articulate dialogues and astonishing experimentations...They create some monstrously challenging music to play, in part because they each contribute their proclivity for creation and improvisation. Their combined experiences in playing such diverse music and performing on stage, in the studio or orchestra pit, means that they know how to do it and the do it with aplomb. We have a part to play too: we need to listen - it’s marvellous.” - Ken Cheetham, Jazz Views
