DDS reissue Conjoint ‘Earprints’ LP – five-man ensemble headed up by Move D

First on the agenda this year for Demdike Stare’s highly lauded DDS label is a reissue of little-known future jazz outfit Conjoint’s second album ‘Earprints‘.

The five-man group was founded by Move D and was composed of Deep Space Network’s Jonas Grossmann, jazz guitarist Gunter Ruit Kraus, techno artist Jamie Hodge and renowned pianist and vibraphone player Karl Berger, known for his work alongside Ornette Coleman, George Clinton and Don Cherry. Conjoint was a highly collaborative ensemble who developed their minimalist jazz abstractions over the course of three albums, culminating in 2006’s “A Few Empty Chairs“.

Initially released in 2000 via Source Records, “Earprints” was the group’s second release. It’s a 20-track, highly collaborative effort that hovers in the space between future jazz, downtempo, and electronica, drawing comparisons to Jan Jelinek, Tortoise, and Miles Davis. The record has been remastered in preparation for the reissue, and is out now on both double-vinyl and digital formats.

Earprints is out now via DDS in digital and vinyl formats, order a copy via Boomkat.
