ANDY HAAS & KEN ALDCROFT: Notes on the Miasms Resonantmusic, 2013 AVANT-NOISE JAZZ – Duo of sax (+electronics on 1,3,6) and guitar, all music fully improvised. The pieces don’t develop very much; they’re more like paintings, exploring particular colors and textures, speeding without moving. It’s intense and uncomfortable, but without resorting to punching the listener in the face. Fo’s Picks: 2, 4, 6 1. 8:58 – small overlapped scribblings, rolling logs, high squeals, ends quietly 2. 6:18 – sax scurries madly, guitar nudges the edge; they sync midway thru 3. 6:32 – guitar picks quickly thru woozy electronics & droning sax 4. 4:05 – a quieter, more organic piece, sax & guitar both feel calm & elastic 5. 13:40 – starts slow but soon speeds up: sax stretches & bends, then ties tight knots; guitar supports & prods insistently with short strokes 6. 8:14 – sax swoops & whirls as guitar percolates; light electronic accents 7. 4:04 – starts very quietly, gets dense, then hammers away thru 2nd half [ Fo ] - 1 September 2013 | ||
