about

Paul Flaherty, Gene Moore, Gene Janas, Federico Ughi ::
Morfina

The idea for this recording was first conceived during the 2016 Forward Festival when Gene Moore, a pioneer of noise guitar playing and bassist Gene Janas, a mainstay of the NYC experimental music scene, invited noted avant-garde drummer Federico Ughi for the second part of their set. This spontaneous collaboration inspired the three musicians to plan a recording, and they decided to involve the legendary sax player Paul Flaherty for the occasion.

The resulting recording is Morfina, and while Flaherty, Moore, and Janas have collaborated extensively in the past, it’s the very first time Flaherty and Ughi have ever played together. Janas played with Ughi on a previous 577 Records’ album release (People’s Resonance, also featuring Daniel Carter, 2008).

The album title Morfina, meaning ‘morphine’ in Italian, was suggested by Ughi, as the recording session happened only hours after he left the emergency room, where he was treated for a back injury with a strong dose of the substance. Needless to say, while the music may have been influenced by this, it certainly didn’t suffer.

The album is out now on Forward Festival & 577 Records www.577records.com
This is an exclusive limited edition of 300 hand-numbered LPs, 10 hand-numbered CDs (now sold out) + digital album
This band performed an impressive set at the Forward Festival 2017.
