Sharing an interest both in left field jazz and hip hop beats, this international pairing gives rise to fresh tones
Noa Erni and Robot Orchestra make for a fresh voiced collaborative team. Both artists have a foundation in hip-hop production, but working together the sound that they’ve created is decidedly within the extensive realms of alternate jazz.
Whereas Robot Orchestra tends to lean in the direction of lo fi beats, Swiss born Noa Erni finds his passion in obscure jazz tones, stretching from jazz hop to nu jazz to jazztronica.
The duo’s most recent shared project is the track ‘Damn It’s Sunny’, a stirring mix of percussive beats and heartfelt hip-hop that tempts the spirit away from the body, constructing a comfortable space to wander into. It’s a work taken from Erni’s upcoming album “The Mental Traveller”; a collection of soul searching beats which is also significant in its role as the artist’s debut album.
Released via the hip hop and jazz focused label Kommerz Records, “The Mental Traveller” brings low tempo, meditative vibes to the scene. It’s experimental, creative and very much a sound you can lose yourself in. There’s also significant involvement in the project from other contemporaries of Erni, including trumpeter Miles Bonny and Jakarta Records signed producer S. Fidelity. A variety of flavours simmer in this contemplative release.
