Opis wydawcy:
Dominic Miller zaprosił do nagrania swojej najnowszej płyty znanych europejskich muzyków jak Lars Danielsson, Sebastian Studnitzky, Rhani Krija, Peter Tickell, Dylan Fowler i albańska wokalistka Eda Zari.
Złożoność ich wrażliwości oraz odrębności tradycji, z których czerpią pełnymi garściami, w połączeniu z muzyką, z którą zetknęli się podczas pobytu w Niemczech, stanowi jeden z największych atutów tej płyty.
Powstał album koncepcyjny, z muzyką wręcz medytacyjną, z przenikającymiu się nawzajem głosami, instrumentami, czy w końcu efektami brzmieniowymi, które stanowią dopełnienie ich wspólnego grania.

Editor's info:
The active support for "ad hoc "he has gathered around himself by using outstanding masters of their craft whilst trying to crack this latest musical puzzle has paid off for Miller. With them at his side he has created an open-minded new work, which should delight fans of rich and diverse sounds everywhere. Those working at the frontiers of their art. Don't care about traditional genre barriers and in titles like " Exiting Purgatory", written in an intricate 7/8, the tender and melodic "Eva", the meditative " Shavasana " and " Moroccan roll " reminiscent of Weather Report's World Jazz, he has transcended all style barriers. What is special with this album is that he doesn't just stop at the mere crossover of time signatures, close together, sometimes wide apart, it's the combination of modern jazz, electronica, acoustic folk, contemporary classical and world music combined " ad hoc" style that leads to something entirely new. There isn't yet an appropriate genre term for such a symbiosis, it's yet to be coined, any suggestions anyone'

We all know that Dominic Miller is a good guitar player. That has been an established fact for a while now. Sting doesn’t hire any old schlub to play in his band, especially when you have old Police songs to consider for the live sets. But is Dominic Miller good at creating music on his own? If Ad Hoc were the only piece of evidence, then the answer would be yes. But Miller has struck out on his own many times, garnering some dubious assessment along the way. If an album like Ad Hoc doesn’t put these criticisms to rest, then it will at least quiet them for the time being.

Miller and his compatriots have made an album that rolls off the proverbial log so easily yet with musicianship safely intact. The music itself is not overshadowed by everyone’s professionalism, nor is this the most memorable instrumental stuff you’ll ever come across. Call it light fusion. But Ad Hoc has musical integrity, enough to keep you coming back if not for melodies than for mood. Additional musicians include Lars Danielsson on cello, Sebastian Studnitzky on harmonium, piano and trumpet, Eda Zari on vocals, Peter Tickell on violin, Dylan Fowler on lap steel guitar and Rhani Krija on drums and percussion.
