In Brazil, where he lived for several years, he trialled a similar project called São Paulo Underground, creating the seminal Exploding Star Orchestra when he returned to Chicago. Within this project launched in 2005, Mazurek created a vehicle that could encompass the disparate styles and ideologies of the wide range of free forms of expression and has explored the most avant-garde currents in the scene, incorporating musicians from post-rock, AACM and free improvisation. The only category it might fit is All-Stars – each and every one of the artists involved is a legend of avant-garde jazz, although some belong to the North-American territories of creative music while others have been known to favor the European heights of improvisation. Working with volatile energy and dedication, Rob Mazurek shines a light, bringing out the very best in the musicians he has patiently, precisely selected. Together they evoke Béla Bartok and Gil Evans, Morton Feldman and Bill Dixon, Sun Ra and The Art Ensemble of Chicago. The universe is a very big place. Rob Mazurek is doing his part to fill it with glorious sound. Exploding Star Orchestra is the ever-evolving large ensemble conceived by Abstractivist, electro-acoustic composer, trumpeter, and interdisciplinary artist Rob Mazurek. Since its inception, the orchestra has become one of the defining creative ensembles of the twenty-first century, bringing together exceptional improvisers from across the world to realize Mazurek’s expansive compositional vision. Balancing intricate structures with collective improvisation, ritual, electronics, voice, and immersive sonic environments, Exploding Star Orchestra creates music that is simultaneously orchestral, intimate, ecstatic, and exploratory. For this special presentation of Holy Mountains, Mazurek leads an extraordinary international ensemble featuring Rodrigo Brandão (voice, words), Pasquale Mirra (vibraphone), Mauricio Takara (drums, percussion, electronics), Guilherme Granado (synthesizers, samplers, voice, percussion), Thomas Rohrer (rabeca, saxophones, percussion), Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (bass), and Hamid Drake (drums, percussion). Together they create a music of profound rhythmic energy, luminous orchestral color, and boundless imagination—where composition and improvisation merge into a continually unfolding sonic landscape.
