BLINK was formed in the summer of 2024, of Boston improvisers led by saxophonist Jorrit Dijkstra. The collective improvisations and group cohesion are more important than individual solos. The band uses a microtonal tuning system between the instruments, which gives it a mesmerizing and dreamy sound, full of collective melodic and multi-rhythmic layerings. Dijkstra’s compositions form a spring board for open improvisations, with an emphasis on long forms, and with references to African high life and kalimba music, Indonesian gamelan and delta blues guitar styles. BLINK’s first album release on Driff Records is scheduled for later this summer.
