SoundWaves at White Feather Farm in Saugerties, NY An eclectic series of musical discovery
Soundwaves at White Feather Farm is a series of extraordinary music from around the world - and around the corner. The series aims to promote artistic and cultural expressions that transcend traditional boundaries and strengthen and build community in the Hudson Valley through genre-defying music for curious listeners.
Wrembel may be the foremost interpreter of Django Reinhardt’s music in North America. Whether sticking to the French master’s arrangements, or taking the music into new territory, Wrembel has always treated Django like a classical composer rather the cliché paragon of swing and speed the master guitarist has often been portrayed as. In addition to Wrembel’s work as a film composer and performer (he wrote the theme song to Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris and scored Allen’s last movie) Wrembel has delved into the study of Django’s “Improvisations” - the solo pieces that Django recorded throughout his life and were in fact precisely scripted and more akin to classical preludes than jazz improv. Wrembel painstakingly transcribed and memorized the entire cycle, highlighting the influence of Ravel and Debussy on the music, as well as the original compositional approach. Wrembel released the album “Django L’impressionniste” back in October 2019 - a stunning work, which he premiered at the prestigious Lyon Opera house, in France.
