"Austrian composer, producer and keyboardist Dorian Concept (born Oliver Thomas Johnson), is an Austrian composer who is well-known for incorporating jazz, funk, and hip-hop into his dense, electronic soundscapes. His beats are often bursting with dynamic rhythms and unique, ear-catching sonic quirks. For this 2019 episode of Red Bull Music's electronic music series, Sequences, Dorian Concept puts his idiosyncratic sound on full display. Playing keys and looping his own musical phrases in real time, this performance fused deft improvisation with Dorian Concepts very real, very sharp performance and compositional chops. Backed by a tight vocal ensemble, this set seamlessly incorporates the human voice into Dorian Concepts world of electrified, futuristic Jazz. The set opens with a gentle synth and piano refrain before kicking into a swinging, galloping drum and synth-bass groove. Dorian Concept displays his strong penchant for virtuosic playing on keys, using those chops as a means of crafting challenging musical arrangements. The frantic, fast-paced, jazz-fusion jam ""J Buyers"" is a highlight here, with Dorian Concept pushing the tempo into overdrive. The song's pounding backbeat provided a solid bed for the quick-paced interplay between the song's punchy synth melody and the choral refrain. Whether he's re-writing the contours of what we once considered jazz, hip-hop or experimental music, Dorian Concept is one of electronic music's leading lights. This lively and inventive session gives us an intriguing look into his process and performance style. John Morrison".
