“ELA / LUA” was recorded by composer/producer Will Miller (aka Resavoir) and composer/producer Matt Gold for the Aquarium Drunkard Lagniappe Sessions. Here the duo dives into a pair of formative Brazilian favorites by Caetano Veloso and Mario Adnet for the celebrated music blog, giving listeners a companion to their 2025 LP Horizon to align with the album's first birthday, as well as a glimpse at the inspiration for the sound of the album itself. These stripped back pieces of gentle psychedelia are a perfect bite sized follow-up from Miller and Gold.

"Lua" comes from Caetano Veloso's 1975 album Jóia. While Veloso's original groove inhabits an understated, meditative space, here the tune enters a more electronic realm, surrounding the song's perfectly hypnotic melody with a busier texture of contrasting sonic elements. Here Miller and Gold's gentle, half-tab psychedelia builds on and branches off from Veloso's hypnotic, understated space, arriving at something a little darker, a little later-at-night.

“Ela” is a cover of the classic tune by Mario Adnet, which Will Miller first heard on Madlib's Medicine Show No. 2: Flight to Brazil. This take strips the sound back considerably, giving the lead to Miller's EVI while Gold's fingerpicked acoustic guitar leads the delightful amble along. The whole vibe is bolstered by crisp shakers, understated bass guitar, and a sugar-sweet pedal steel.

Horizon

LP, CD, DIGITAL ALBUM

Originally released in late spring 2025, Horizon is a collaborative album by Resavoir & Matt Gold. Across the 10 tracks the two Chicago-based musicians combine to create a beautiful love letter to their shared admiration for 70s jazz and MPB. Resavoir leading man Will Miller — the acclaimed trumpeter, synthesist, and producer who’s worked with SZA, Whitney, and more — connects with his longtime friend and collaborator Gold — a seasoned composer, multi-instrumentalist and guitarist who works with Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, and more — and the results are distinctly unique for both of them. The sunny and expansive tunes on Horizon – including album standout "Diversey Beach" featuring vocals and string arrangements by Mei Semones – are as immersive as they are endlessly replayable. A dynamic and joyous body of work.

"The music is bursting with life yet also tranquil—laid-back music attuned to the rhythms of life, and the reasons to celebrate it.” - Dave Sumner, Bandcamp

“A sultry, horn-laced daydream...that drapes Bonfá and Nascimento’s quiet genius in contemporary shimmer and brain-tingling cinematic funk.” - David Walker, New Commute

“Horizon lives entirely in that golden hour… a quietly radiant exploration of texture, warmth, and mood.” - Joey Willis, glide MAGAZINE

“Das Sensationelle an ‚Horizon‘ ist das eigentlich Unspektakuläre dieser Aufnahme, der ruhige, mühelos erscheinende und trotzdem pulsierende Sound.” - Jörg Konrad, Kultkomplott

...about Resavoir & Matt Gold…

Matt Gold is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer based in Chicago, IL. His work pulls from diverse traditions of electric and acoustic music. Matt has performed in venues across six continents and has written music for film as well. His work has been praised for being “accessible, yet healthily unconstrained by genre and sure of its own identity” (UK Vibe) and for "effortlessly embodying its own dialect—defined by varied, spacious soundscapes, innovative improvisational flourishes and rich harmony" (Downbeat Magazine). In 2020 Gold released Imagined Sky (Whirlwind Recordings), displaying his penchant for concise melody and a nuanced, exploratory palette of abstracted Americana. His latest solo release, Midnight Choir, delves more explicitly into Gold’s deft songwriting and imaginative production. He also makes records as part of the instrumental duo Sun Speak and the singer/songwriter duo Storm Jameson, and has appeared on over fifty recordings as a multi-instrumentalist and collaborator. Gold performs and records with a wide array of creative artists including Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, Marquis Hill, Sara Serpa, Hood Smoke, and Jamila Woods. He co-curates the Flood Music concert series and record label.

Following the release of Horizon, Matt Gold released Devotional Fade (We Jazz Records), a collaboration of electroacoustic rhythm improvisations with multi-instrumentalist Dustin Laurenzi (Bill Callahan, Twin Talk, Bon Iver). He also released records with his bands Sun Speak and Tin. Gold produced, engineered, mixed, and played all instruments on “Wish I Had Not Said That,” a collaboration with singer-songwriter Elizabeth Moen. Gold recently recorded and performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Natalie Merchant for her Cabinet of Wonder project, and recorded on Marquis Hill’s new album (Beautifulism) Sweet Surrender. He is regularly presenting his music in a trio format and is currently developing a suite of compositions for saxophone and electric guitar with Greg Ward.

Resavoir is the work of Chicago-born and based musician, composer and producer Will Miller. Miller is a jazz trumpeter and composer by training – first via Chicago Public Schools, then Oberlin Conservatory. As an instrumentalist he’s played on recordings by Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, and for several years was a regular member of the indie band Whitney. Since 2016 he’s moved more and more in the direction of all around “producer” – working with an expanded palette of synths, pianos, live and programmed drums in addition to his MIDI-augmented trumpet, he developed a signature cinematic soul-jazz sound rooted in hip-hop structures, heard through his work on tracks for Eryn Allen Kane, Whitney, Knox Fortune, and SZA’s recently-released album SOS (which spent 10 weeks as the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart). In 2019 Miller released Resavoir’s debut album Resavoirto high praise, including a glowing 8.2 review in Pitchfork. Later that year, Miller and his live version of the Resavoir band (featuring former Noname musical director Akenya, saxophonist/vocalist/MC Sen Morimoto, and others) did their London debut as part of the first Boiler Room Festival. While they were in London, they did a recording session at Total Refreshment Studios. One of those recordings was a cover of the Charles Tolliver song “Plight,” and the track was released by Blue Note Records as part of the compilation Transmissions from Total Refreshment Centre. Miller spent much of the pandemic years in his studio, and much of 2022 on tour with Whitney. In 2023, Resavoir released their second self-titled album, a more polished and focused presentation of Miller’s evolving skills as a studio producer, with his compositional touch more articulate than ever. The collection’s eleven tracks feature a massive list of contributors including Elton Aura, Whitney, Akenya, Matt Gold, Eddie Burns, Lane Beckstrom, Jeremy Cunningham, Irvin Pierce, Macie Stewart, Peter Manheim and more. Across 2024, Resavoir released several singles including “Life Before,” a Knox Fortune remix of their track “Future,” and a live-in-studio cover of “Love Theme from Spartacus.” Resavoir capped off 2024 with a grand performance at Chicago’s Thalia Hall under the name Orchestra Resavoir, with Miller arranging a program of his Resavoir compositions for an 18-piece philharmonic. In August 2025, Orchestra Resavoir returned for a performance at Chicago's iconic Jay Pritzker Pavilion as part of Millennium Park's Summer Music Series.

In spring 2026, Miller self-released a new Resavoir album, Themes for Dreams (l'univers). He also joined Gregory Uhlmann's ensemble for a run of album release shows, alongside Resavoir performances at BiG Culture and Arts Festival, Reflections events in Chicago and Detroit, and most recently the Montréal Jazz Festival. This fall, Resavoir embarks on its first North American headline tour in support of a forthcoming LP.
