Gesture, distance, silence, and autonomy are the base vocabulary in this convergence of voices.  These two are no strangers to form and intention. They are a means to an ends duo with every component in its appropriate place.  The four pieces are a collection of improvisations that swell , drive, and cut across layered fields of sound to structures of arid restraint.   A demanding work that rewards the disciplined listener with unfolding depths.

With such a well-seasoned line-up as this one can only assume a most engaging result. These pieces slowly blur the distinction between improvisation and post-production concrete construction. Starting from a recording of a live performance the works gradually introduce surrounding acoustic events and other trickery into the mix. At most points it is hard to make the distinction especially given the formidable palates of these individuals. An absolutely compelling listen.
