about

It’s weird, it’s interesting, it’s challenging, maybe slightly discombobulating as well” Jamz Supernova - BBC 6 Music

“More bite than a cage of hungry wildcats”

Mat Smith - Electronic Sound Magazine

“Like a moon-guided abstract fear; a ghostly voyage aboard a Kubrickian, Lovecraftian and Tarkovskyian space

freighter this new vision scopes lunar caverns and the deep cosmos.”

Monolith Cocktail

“A delight of barely classifiable, explosive sound…Fragmentary shards of crystalline synthpop are set against a relentless barrage of skull-splitting hardcore”.

Carl Griffin - Electronic Sound Magazine

The Dark Jazz Project latest release (DJP4) is a newly imagined soundtrack to 1920’s German expressionist masterpiece “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”.

Directed by Robert Wiene this silent horror classic tells the story of an insane hypnotist who uses a brainwashed somnambulist to commit murders.

The dark and twisted visual style is mirrored by this soundtrack by The Dark Jazz Project, which brings its quixotic brand of harsh jazz noise, electrical blasts and pulsating beats to create a barrage of sonic invention that perfectly imbues the troubled subconscious of the movie.

about

The Dark Jazz Project Birmingham, UK

The Dark Jazz Project is an experimental adventure into the abyss by Musician and Composer Andrew Spackman (SAD MAN, Nimzo- Indian). Here he brings his typically quixotic and mercurial approach, fusing Jazzcore, free improvisation, dark ambience into a melting pot of noise, rhythmic chaos to create a dark and unsettled future. Think Sun Ra meets Vladislav Delay.
