The debut studio album, “Dorian Portrait,” by Manchester-based artist John Haycock, is a mesmerizing blend of jazz and ambient music that has recently been added to the prestigious catalogue of Swiss label, Second Thoughts. Known for his mastery of the Kora, a traditional 21-stringed instrument originating from West Africa, Haycock skillfully combines its authentic plucked string sounds with modern electronic components, creating a unique and captivating sonic experience. The opening track, ‘Mykes’, sets the tone for the album with its rippling melody that seamlessly intertwines the Kora’s notes with Haycock’s electronic tones, producing a harmonious balance between an ancient and contemporary sound. With an aura that feels both nostalgic and groundbreaking, “Dorian Portrait” showcases Haycock’s talent and introduces him as a significant addition to the music scene.

One particularly remarkable track from the album is ‘Dissolution,’ which builds upon a prominent bassline reminiscent of a plant piercing through the soil, gradually unfurling its leaves and reaching towards the sunlight. The composition encapsulates a sense of growth and expansion, as the music evolves and blossoms with each passing moment. Whether seeking moments of personal reflection or enjoying a shared listening experience, “Dorian Portrait” offers a beautifully introspective ambiance that invites listeners to immerse themselves in its captivating melodies.

Fans of jazz and ambient music will thoroughly appreciate John Haycock’s “Dorian Portrait.” The fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds presented in this album is reminiscent of other talented artists who have successfully forged their own unique styles. Artists such as Anouar Brahem, who combines traditional Tunisian music with jazz elements, and Brian Eno, an influential figure in ambient music, have paved the way for the genre-blending exploration that Haycock embarks upon. Drawing inspiration from these notable artists, Haycock’s debut studio album seamlessly merges cultural influences, resulting in an impressive and unforgettable musical experience.
