Anja Garbarek's third album - and her first for a major label - is a departure
from her previous efforts in that she's enlisted the help of musicians who
understand how to blend her electronic textures with more organic
instrumentation. The daughter of ECM jazz saxophone legend Jan Garbarek, Anja
has moved far from the distorted soundscapes of her debut, the elegantly weird
Balloon Mood from 1996. Here she employs the talents and tactics of musicians
such as Mark Hollis (formerly of Talk Talk), Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen
from Japan and Rain Tree Crow, respectively, and the production savvy of Steve
Wilson from Porcupine Tree. Her sound is all but impossible to describe, but
there are moments where the wispy, almost invisible vocal style of Stina
Nordenstam echoes in the mix, as the does the lyrical irony of Laurie Anderson,
and the broken poetic phrasing of Bjork. But this is no comparison, as shades
and specters of different music such as jazz, classical, rock, trip-hop, and
even dub waft through this airy mix, through all of them appear as ghosts,
musics that are what we remember them as, from some near future emptiness,
rather than as current constructs from which to make music from. There is the
notion of observance, Garbarek is always the outsider, witnessing small
occurrences in everyday life and reading who knows what into them. There is a
duet with Robert Wyatt, entitled "The Diver," where besides a double bass -
present in every track - there is little but a spare, lilting piano, some
string, and an oboe. The pair's voices comment on witnessing the art of a
diver's plunge. Their voices entwine and then separate, creating a view both
from pool side and in Wyatt's case, distance. The up-beat trip-hop of "That's
All," where drum loops engage a chamber group with bass; a flute slips and
slides along underneath the listener like a ball rolling under the couch, almost
moving by you before it can be grasped: "And he crawls to the door in a warm
nurse/where he walks for the first time/surrounded by the dry clouds/he is
leaving a trail/that's all we know." The next piece, the melancholy, "And Then,"
with nothing but a bass, the London Session Orchestra, and harpist Helen
Turnstall, is at once a song of absence and arrival: "Unpack moments/the girl in
the redcoat turns/passing. Entering. Going places/bring her name under the chain
of lights/kneeling down/she throws herself into sound/passing. Entering. Going
places..." In the broken lyric and shimmering instrumental quality we hear an
artist emerging from her influences into a music of her own creation, shedding
the pop influences of her past; in the process she is unearthing a signature
music which turns in on itself before slowly opening to the listener in
mysterious and wonderful ways. Smiling & Waving is an opaque, sensual gem.
