aver & move 78: the algorithm smiles upon you
Francisco Espregueira
The Algorithm Smiles Upon You is the debut EP by the new Aver & Move 78 project, consisting of Doron Segal on keyboards, Nir Sabag on drums, Hal Strewe on bass and Aver on sampler and production. Released by Village Live Records, this band hails from Berlin blending a jazz approach with instrumental hip hop flavours.
The eight tracks of The Algorithm Smiles Upon You are crafted from hours of studio improvisations, that have then been chopped-up, rearranged, and layered with additional strings, flute and horns. This multi-layered approach has helped create the band’s signature sound, reaching a smooth balance between free flowing jazz and automated, programmed hip hop. Available on vinyl, Aver & Move 78 is another very interesting project released by Village Live.
