The Apples are a musical metropolis, evoking international urban
landscapes, built on traditional foundations, breathing hectic traffic,
perpetually expanding, creatively progressing.
They not only balance upon, they frantically run up and down the
tightrope that stretches between the composed and the impromptu. Between
the planned frame of a piece and the blank canvas that gives the
players the space to reinterpret on the spot. The feeling that it could
flow in any direction at any time and still keep a strong point of
reference for the beholder’s ears, feet, soul and booty.
The decks/horns/bass/drums/effects Nonet formed in 2002. Students at
Jerusalem’s Rubin Academy of Music joined with Southern Tel Aviv’s
burgeoning underground scene and Haifa’s creative jazz/ethno mentality
and together began exploring spontaneous, groove-based, jazz flavored
danceable improvised music.
The unconventional lineup unleashed stream-of-consciousness
performances that combined heavy big band shouts with tight funk
sensibilities and the instinctive weaving of a dj set.
True-to-form packed full of horn stabs, cuts n scratches, oddball samples, electronic effects and heavy heavy grooves-Fly On It was
recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and finds the band
closer than ever to capturing their signature explosive live sound on
tape.
