While Crime Scenes (Jazzland, 2006) was a studio collaboration between festival artistic co-directors Jan Bang and Erik Honore and some of the festival's usual suspects, Punkt Live Remixes Vol. 1 finally allows those unable to attend Punkt an opportunity to hear what all the fuss is about. Sifting through three years of remixes, Bang and Honore have chosen two that not only best embody the spirit of Punkt, but feature two of its most constant companions—Norwegian vocalist Sidsel Endresen and American trumpeter Jon Hassell, the latter without whom Punkt would either not exist or, at the very least, would be an entirely different beast.
Endresen's remarkable path towards a vocal style that, while still incorporating strong melody at times, is more about turning the human voice into a broad-scoped orchestral instrument, has been well documented on albums including One (Sofa, 2007). But here, working in concert with Bang and Honore to reevaluate Sweet Billy Pilgrim's moving 2007 performance, Endresen begins with a series of vocalizations that, were it not for the fact that she begins completely alone, would seem impossible coming from a single, unprocessed human voice.
Her empathic interaction with Bang and Honore begins slowly, with Endresen gradually echoing one of Sweet Billy Pilgrim's lines as well as a haunting line of her own ("I don't want to be alone in here"). The music moves gradually from oblique abstraction into gently rhythmic ambient territory, all the more remarkable for there being absolutely no post-production—what is heard is exactly what went down.
