Dieter Boels is the primary for this Brussels collective. Meandering between jazz, the ambient and general experimental electronic ideas, this is nonetheless a real band with real players and real sonic manipulation within and without. Trust me; it makes more sense than that.

Nite Kite Erratic Erosion (self-released)

In fact, the truly remarkable thing about Nite Kite is how seamlessly all of its influences play out. Again, some of this exists in real time, but there is a production element as well. I'm quite curious to know how a live show might come together. For now, the shows are in Belgium, which is a bit too high a ticket for my wallet at the moment.

The structure of the songs fits electronic music better than jazz. Perhaps a better description would be to call this an electronic album played largely by analog instruments. Even that isn't really doing it justice, but I'll stop there for now.

An intriguing set of ideas and sounds. Nite Kite doesn't really fit in any particular world, but that's fine. Let the music channel a path to introspection and see what turns up. In the end, I guess the name fits perfectly. Nite Kite is its own animal, and gloriously so.
