Scott R. Looney & Klaus Janek
1510

1510 is a collaborative duo project started in 2009, by Scott R. Looney and Klaus Janek, named after the studio in Oakland where many international and local improvisers have been recorded.
The music of 1510 covers a wealth of sonic and textural landscapes in their interactions, with an emphasis on logic and contrasting concepts guiding the overall shape of the work. The resulting sound is meditative and ambient at times, yet hints at free jazz and electro acoustic improvisational influences as well.
