“Across The Evening” – Jon Durant & Robert Jürjendal

Across the Evening cover art

“Across the Evening” is the new album by ambient experimental guitarists Jon Durant and Robert Jürjendal. The album further extends the ambient/jazz/world crossover music both musicians have traversed throughout their diverse careers. This vibrant collaboration also features appearances from Colin Edwin (UK) on bass, Aleksei Saks (Estonia) on trumpet, and Andi Pupato (Switzerland) on percussion. The album is a multi-dimensional, trans continental delight.

“The Power Of Distance” – Robert Jürjendal & Miguel Noya

Electronic music pioneer, Miguel Noya, began work in the mid-1970s in his native Venezuela using the available tools, patch cord analog synthesis, pre-drum machine percussion, pre-sampler native sounds. His groundbreaking “Gran Sabana” caused a European concert promoter to refer to him recently as the “Venezuelan Jean-Michel Jarre”. Meanwhile in rural Estonia, guitar stylist, Robert Jürjendal was quietly creating exotic, swirling soundscapes that defy description but leave one satisfied in a Fripp/Eno kind of way (he studied with the master himself in the School of Crafty Guitarists). The collaboration of Noya and Jürjendal yields a blended fusion as energizing as it is hypnotic – a new progressive ambient classic album two lifetimes in the making.
