Nu er TUMULT, der flere gange er blevet nomineret til Danish Music Awards, atter på banen med deres 3. cd: ”Aldrig får jeg fred.” GO0108
Med tekster som ”For nu er katten død, død”, ”Jeg går ind og jeg går ud” og ”Aldrig får jeg fred” bliver danske Tumult kaldet det 21. århundredes Lars Lilholt. Og selvom bandets medlemmer ikke selv er meget for at sammenligne sig med andre, kan der godt være lidt om snakken, medgiver de.
4 Mænd
Fire mænd med hver deres musikalske baggrund, hver deres smag og hver deres indgang til dansk folkemusik. Jørgen Dickmeiss, Morten Jørgensen, Mikkel Grue, og Jens Kristian Dam Pedersen formået at finde en helt unik stil. Genren er dansk folkemusik med moderne lyd.
Tumult blev dannet i 1999 - I 2001 udkom deres debut-CD ”Wallegnav” og i 2004 deres anden CD "Kværn".
Jørgen Dickmeiss, sanger og violinist, fik ideen til Tumult under sin uddannelse på Det Fynske Musikkonservatorium. Fordybet i den danske folkemusik og visetradition og inspireret af forskellige erfarne spillefolk, har han i efterhånden mange år komponeret sin egen musik, der i 1999 blev grundlaget for Tumult.
Jørgen i Davinde, en lille landsby 15 kilomester sydøst for Odense. Morten Jørgensen, basist, er 37 år og har spillet alt fra rock til free jazz i adskillige bands.
Lige nu koncentrerer han sig om at spille bas i Tumult – og kan dermed lægge endnu en genre til sit repertoire nemlig folkemusik.
Morten er vokset op i Tommerup Stations By på Fyn og bor nu i Nyborg. Mikkel Grue, 29 år gammel, spiller guitarer – elektrisk såvel som akustisk. Mikkel har ofte travlt – rigtig travlt.
I dag bor han på Amager i København. Jens Kristian Dam Pedersen, 30 år, har aldrig været i tvivl om, at han skulle være professionel musiker og bag et sæt trommer. Har turneret verden rundt med diverse berømte bands og musikere: Otis Grand, Big Joe Turner & Memphis Blues Caravan, Paul Orta, Gary Primich, Ester Brohus og Henning Stærk.

Tumult is a unique
band with their very own style created by
and made up of a team of talented and skilled young Danish
musicians with different musical backgrounds evolving around
the charismatic violinist and singer Jørgen Dickmeiss. At the
music academy on Funen, Dickmeiss - with solid support from
experienced Danish folk musicians - became absorbed in the
Danish folk music and -ballad tradition. It was the encounter
with these traditions which ultimately led to the idea of
Tumult. The idea of "playing some hip Danish folk music with a
modern sound", as Dickmeiss puts it. In 1999 Tumult was formed
- using as their main source of inspiration Dickmeiss' vast
self-composed and traditional repertoire - and enthusiastically
threw themselves onto the Danish music scene. They were
well-received by their audience and in 2001 their debut CD
"Wallegnav" was released by a small progressive recording
company GO' &65533;Danish Folk Music production. "Wallegnav"
was
an immediate success in Denmark as well as internationally,
and Tumult crossed boarders and toured in Sweden, Germany
and Holland. The same year Tumult represented Denmark at the
22nd EBU (European Broadcasting Union) Folk Festival in Kalaka
in Hungary and here their concert was transmitted to millions
of European radio listeners. In 2002 Tumult visited Russia
several times to deliver an ongoing row of compact, sweaty
and energetic gigs to a fully enthusiastic audience on various
scenes in Moscow The same year the band was nominated
for the Danish Music Award (Danish Grammy) as "Danish Folk
Artist of the Year" for the "Wallegnav" CD. Right now Tumult
is
ready to release a fresh and complete repertoire: A number of
songs and melodies will very appropriately experience their
&64257; rst performance at the Tønder festival's 30th anniversary
in
August 2004, where the CD also will be launched. Yes, Tumult
is a very special Danish band with its very own style and they
have with "Kværn" (grinding mill as used to grind pepper
or &64258; our)
recorded a smasher of a CD. Listen to it, play it for your friends
and before you know it the band will be doing a gig close to
your neighbourhood and so see you there!

1. I went behind a fence (trad.. DK, lyrics adapted by Jørgen
Dickmeiss).
An old folk song about the art of seduction- and about women'&65533;s
wiles.
2. Allemagasej* (trad.. DK after Peter Uhrbrand)
A sønderhoning with a mad name. It is not known how the name
was derived, but rumours have it that it should be a description
of the body's (stomach's) condition after a thorough "Sønderho"
dancing.
3. The seduced virgin (trad.. DK) / The Morning country (tune
Jørgen Dickmeiss)
In this old ballad you &64257; nd the drama of a virgin who loses
her
innocence when she falls in love with a stranger. A hot topic which
is still an issue in many parts of the world today.
4. Diesel schottis* (tune Jørgen Dickmeiss)
Jørgen's old bratsch- which passed by the name "diesel hakkeren"
caught this melody.
5. The Steed (tune Jørgen Dickmeiss)
The melody is a tribute to the kind of eccentrics who dare go it
alone.
6. Malfra (trad.. DK, lyrics adapted by Jørgen Dickmeiss) /
Malfra's piece (tune Jørgen Dickmeiss)
The stupendous ballad is a genuine tradgedy where both lover,
mother and infant meet their death in the end.
7. Crossing the Atlantic* (Jørgen Dickmeiss) Sugarfoot Rag (Hank
Garland)
During the summer &65533;97 a raft called at the Irish west coast
creating a great uproar. The raft had crossed the Atlantic and was
made of material which the captain and his craft (3 dogs) had
found as litter on the American east coast. An impressive deed
which gave inspiration to this melody which is also put together
from bits and pieces. Sugarfoot Ray is nearly synonymous with the
great Nashville guitarist Hank Garland.
8. Falseness in mind (trad. DK) / Hey Fiddleli (trad. DK after Peter
Uhrbrand)
Now I am like a solitary tree standing in the wildest moor. Far away
from any town, from any shelter. Where upon blows an angry storm...
Desertion and unhappy love are the fuel for this ballad with lyrics
worthy of a blues. We have seasoned the song with our favorite
"sønderhoning" Hey Fiddeli.
9. Møller's*(tune Jørgen Dickmeiss)
Dedicated to piano tuner Finn Møller in Aalborg in whose
workshop it was composed.
10. The boys and girls (trad. Swedish tune, lyrics Keld Nørgaard
Kristensen)
A Swedish polska with a splendid text by Keld Nørgaard
Kristensen. Sorry Keld, but we played in 4/4 by mistake!
11. Triple jumper prelude
12. Triple jumper (tune Jørgen Dickmeiss)
A polska heavily inspired by the dark Swedish woods.
All arrangements by
Tumult except * Tumult, Thomas
Kristoffersen and Kasper Laursen.
All arrangements have been created collectively - testing the opportunities
within the tunes and songs. A very rewarding and demanding process at
the same time.
Vitality,
intensity, improvisation, soul & poetry are all ingredients that characterize
the upcoming folkfusion band, Tumult.
A creative mix of curious, sparkling melodies, colourful harmonies - heavy,
sweating rhythms - and inspiration from various musical styles is how they
define new Danish folk music.
Tumult consists of four experienced musicians from Odense with each an individual
musical background and experience; a hardcore folk-fiddler & singer,
a popular rock guitarist, a hardcore retro bass player and a groovy rock
drummer. It is the meeting of musicians with each their musical culture
and background that gives rise to new possibilities and adventures. Prejudices
are being reduced and the limits for what you can do with the music become
fluid.
Most of the group's repertoire are new compositions, but it also includes
traditional material: - songs, ballads and tunes from Denmark, which are
treated affectionately in new interesting arrangements. Tumult started spreading
in Odense in the autumn of 1999
NOW the release of their debut-cd.
Jørgen Dickmeiss - fiddle, vocal, bodhran
Thomas Kristoffersen - guitars
Kaspar Laursen Christensen - bass
Lars Frimodt-Møller - drums, percussion
