Mazurek, Rob
Nestor's Nest
Rob Mazurek's album 'Nestor's Nest,' is a genre-defying blend of field recordings, modular electronics, trumpet harmonies, and spirit call chants. A pioneering force in experimental and improvised music since the early '90s, Mazurek has collaborated with legends like Bill Dixon, Pharoah Sanders, and Roscoe Mitchell. Recorded spontaneously during a stay in Tenerife for the 2023 Keroxen Festival, the album captures the lush surroundings of Nestor and Pura's home. Tropical fruit trees and serene gardens serve as the backdrop for Mazurek's cosmic mix of modular synths, trumpets, and acoustic elements, creating a soundscape that bridges nature and celestial energy. His message: "Stop all war. Open the senses. Breathe. Listen. Feel."
