About
Milestones is a cross-genre project by violinist Hugo Ticciati and the O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra, bringing together music by Josquin des Prez, Igor Stravinsky, and Miles Davis. Conceived around shared anniversary years, the album reflects O/Modernt’s practice of placing music from different periods and traditions into direct conversation. Instrumental arrangements and collaborative performances draw attention to common ground between Renaissance polyphony, early modernism, and jazz, particularly in approaches to rhythm, texture, and improvisation. Recorded in Germany and the UK in 2021, the project documents an ensemble-led approach that emphasises attentive listening, flexible roles for soloists, and collective music-making across stylistic boundaries.

An eclectic album, reflecting O/Modernt's commitment to juxtaposing music from different periods and styles. Josquin's Ave Maria could almost be by Arvo Pärt, and moves seamlessly into Selim, with Nils Landgren's trombone standing in, chameleon-like, for Miles Davis's unique trumpet sound.

It's all so clever. Also, so free, spontaneous-sounding, accomplished and communicative - meaning you'd be no less rooted to the spot if listening to the nonarranged works in isolation...True to form, Ticciati and his gang don't create that conversation purely by clever programming juxtapositions, either.
