With the eight offerings, Pendulum (Benoit Delbecq, Jonas Westergaard, Peter Bruun) presents nearly three hours of music, released piece by piece. Each installment swings on its own, while forming part of a larger structure. As the months pass, the music accumulates into an open body of work. Listeners enter the cycle at different moments and move through it in their own time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePendulum is an international trio of singular voices whose mastery of improvisation turns gravity into groove. Benoît Delbecq (piano), Jonas Westergaard (bass), and Peter Bruun (drums) share a deep trust in both compositional structure and improvisational openness. Their music draws on metric relations, shifting balances, and elastic phrasing that allow time to bend and breathe. Each musician brings a distinct language to their expression, yet their interplay forms a shared axis, binding together the counterpoints of levity and gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“...this work may not be about pendulums alone. It speaks of our way of being in the world. Of how we inhabit time, embrace its cycles, its returns, its slow transformations. It reminds us that movement is never a straight line, but a continuous oscillation between balance and imbalance, departure and return, tension and release. Opening Arcs is an invitation to listen differently: to slow down, to follow curves rather than clocks, and to perceive in the swing of a pendulum something of our own presence within time. And perhaps, beneath every vibration, to hear this silent question: What becomes of music when gravity itself begins to improvise?” – Emma Forestier, In\u0026amp;OutJazz Magazine \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eRecorded by Peter Hellesøe at Danish National Academy of Music, Sep 2024 and Sep 2025 \u2028 \u003cbr\u003eMixed \u0026amp; mastered by Pendulum at Bondy Sonics, Dec 2025 \u003cbr\u003e\u2028Produced by Pendulum (Benoit Delbecq, Jonas Westergaard, Peter Bruun) \u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Nathalie Siegfried \u003cbr\u003e\u2028Handwriting by Benoit Delbecq\u2028 \u003cbr\u003eCover Design by Hélène Bouju\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ILK Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54972737159501,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4183\/files\/Pendulum6_8.jpg?v=1791365078","url":"https:\/\/www.ilkmusic.com\/products\/pendulum-opening-arcs-arc-no-6","provider":"ILK Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
