Oren Ambarchi's Album Cooked Recorded Across Three Continents and Five Countries

Oren Ambarchi has recorded and mixed his album Cooked over three years, across three continents and five countries. The album Cooked consists of two tracks in total. Konrad Sprenger was involved in the production of Cooked, and Sprenger was also involved in the production of Ambarchi's previous album, Shebang. Over a career spanning approximately thirty years and across nearly one hundred albums, Ambarchi has mostly made instrumental music.

In an interview given to Joseph Branciforte for the Substack newsletter Patch Notes, Ambarchi stated that he likes things developing slowly and imperceptibly. On the track titled Hidden Tableau, the double bass enters at approximately the fifth minute. Later in the same track, jazz drums enter at the ninth minute.

The album also includes the track Sleight of Hand. On Sleight of Hand, Isak Hedtjärn plays whistles. At the seventeenth minute of Sleight of Hand, the piece evolves in an entirely different direction. Both this track and Hidden Tableau form the two-track album Cooked, produced with Konrad Sprenger.
