What I love most about this disc is the crazy way the musicians have conceptualized their playing.
No instrument sounds normal.
Yet all sound glorious.
Drones. Extended techniques. Freaky repetitive figures. Weirdly natural vibes. Moans. Groans. And simply spectacular group improv, interaction, and conversation.
Speaking of vibes, Matt Moran on this awkward instrument has a concept and execution I’ve never heard before. Very what I call declamatory, heartfelt yet mysterious, he often sets the table for the amazing sonorities that regularly grace the proceedings.
