Abstract improv with sax, bass, drums. Check track 5 for some nifty noises, or the brief track 6 for a jazzier feel. Every track is good, but they do tend to start slowly.
John Butcher is a British saxophonist who's quite creative with unusual sounds (see 3,5). Torsten Muller on bass and Dylan van der Schyff on drums are two of Vancouver's top musicians for this sort of stuff.
1- Groany but fairly fast, touches of modern classical ideas, especially in a very quiet middle segment. A playful kind of seriousness, with some nice tension. Wraps up nicely.
2- A softer, murky journey, still mostly mid/fast, with plenty of sax tricks subtly folded into the flow
3- Delicate start. After 5 minutes, more aggressive with buzzing sax effects. Gets big and swirling near the end.
4- Fairly quiet but busy, a dry clatter. Chirpy sax, builds a nice flow. Last 2 minutes get into fun fluttering sax.
5- Quiet air-through-the-horn whistles and clicks, a neat and almost exotic sound. Ends up a noisy flow with puckered sax pops.
6- Nearly tuneful, with loping bass and swingy, Steve Lacy-like soprano sax
