Last night Niklas and I had the pleasure of witnessing Plunge record their next album at Gula Studion. It was a great night of firsts, first time in a 'proper' studio (where the likes of Franz Ferdinand, The Cardigans, The Ark, Marit Bergman etc. have recorded), first time hearing Andreas play with his own band, first introduction to live, freeform jazz. Actually, I'm told that calling it 'freeform jazz' is really just a demonstration of ignorance. Plunge should apparently be discribed as (something like) "an experimental, existential, minimalist trio who express influences from the world of jazz along with other forms of improvised music..."

It was surprisingly relaxing and so inspiring to hear such great musicians and to watch their musical interaction. Now I have a sense of the "conversation" that Andreas has been trying to describe to me for so long.
