Matter Antimatter
€15.00
VAT included
“Matter Antimatter” is Orè’s third album, reflecting the group’s ongoing search for open and adventurous music. The compositions are intrinsically related to improvisation, sometimes serving as a framework, other times emerging from it. Pieces like “Free Wheel” and “Ode” are fully improvised, while others such as “Uncertainty Principle” and “Pastor” are based on written material.
The group’s improvisational language blends contemporary jazz with non-idiomatic approaches, embracing flexibility and co-creation. Some passages include references to Brazilian culture, as a way of recalling the group’s influences.

Terms and Conditions
ORÈ is an Amsterdam-based quartet that blends free jazz, contemporary and Brazilian music. The name, meaning “us” or “our” in the Tupi-Guarani language, reflects the group’s collective spirit, emphasising spontaneity and trust.
Their music flows between structure and freedom, guided by lyricism, groove, and textural exploration. Compositions are treated less as fixed forms and more as open frameworks—spaces where improvisation can unfold organically. Rhythmic ideas rooted in Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous traditions often inform the music, not precisely as stylistic references, but mostly as underlying inspirations.
ORÈ’s aesthetic resists easy classification. It is raw and melodic, experimental yet grounded, with an emphasis on interplay. Their music is influenced by artists like Henry Threadgill, Brazilian modernists composers such as Osvaldo Lacerda and Cláudio Santoro, as well as the rhythmical tradition of Brazil.
Rather than fusing genres, ORÈ explores how contrasting musical languages can coexist, clash, and evolve within a single piece. This tension between clarity and abstraction, form and formlessness, is central to their work.
