Ad Hoc is the latest offering from Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustav Horneij, under his Organic Pulse Ensemble alias. True to its name, Ad Hoc embraces spontaneity and the art of being in the moment, with each track crafted using a Tascam four-track tape recorder. Playing all the instruments himself, Gustav used this minimalist recording method to capture most performances in a single take, leaving no room for the digital safety net of endless edits. Instead, mistakes became opportunities, reshaped into defining features of the album—a process Gustav calls "problem-solving on the fly."
The result is a vibrant collection of spiritual jazz compositions, where modal grooves, layered percussion, and emotive saxophone and flute solos converge with Ethio-jazz and Eastern influences. While the album retains the meditative and exploratory qualities that characterize Horneij's work, tracks like Solid bring a funkier, groove-driven energy to the mix, adding dynamic contrast to the album's soundscape.
Released as a joint effort by Ultraääni Records and Puro Recordings, this limited LP pressing is a testament to Gustav's dedication to organic, soulful music-making. Ad Hoc is an invitation to dive into the raw, unpolished beauty of music made in the moment—mistakes and all.
