    Seven Storey Mountain V is the fifth of seven evening length works that began with a Festival of New Trumpet commission in 2007. Recorded live at Abrons Art Center in New York City as part of the 2015 Tectonics NY festival, SSMV continues Wooley’s idea of creating an ecstatic and communal music that is non-religious and non-genre based. The massive collective group includes international stars from the jazz, new music, electronic, and noise worlds–working together to realize Wooley’s singular musical vision. The group, which is the largest to date, features Wooley on amplified trumpet alongside C. Spencer Yeh and Samara Lubelski on amplified violins, Ben Vida on electronics, Ben Hall and Ryan Sawyer on percussion, Chris Dingman and Matt Moran on vibraphone, Colin Stetson, Josh Sinton, and Dan Peck on amplified reeds and brass, and the TILT Brass octet (Chris McIntyre, Gareth Flowers, Mike Gurfeld, Tim Leopold, Will Lang, Matt Melore, Jen Baker, and James Roger).


    Recorded May 9, 2015 at Abrons Art Center, presented by Tectonics NY/Issue Project Room, NYC

about

The album consists of only the title track, running just under fifty minutes. From a stately crescendo to the simple sound of a lone bell, Seven Storey Mountain V takes its time in rebuilding from that austere phase. When it does, amplified violins, electronics and brass buzz quietly at first then take off in a more frenzied flight; the brass and stings eventually colliding in disarray. Wooley takes the ensemble back into the twist of a heavily orchestrated motif and closes with a more minimal treatment of the piece, the lone bell again taking the composition to its conclusion. There is less of the relentless density and harsh eruptions that frequent Wooley's work. - Karl Ackerman All About Jazz
