Noise improv led by oboeist Bruckmann, who specializes in overblowing to coax whiny multiphonics from his instrument. He's teamed up with a set of Bay Area improv folks here. Very percussive sound, as guitarists Ernesto Diaz-Infante and John Shiurba lean on clacky/scraped guitar sounds rather than traditional notes. Not all of the sounds really add to the experience... this probably could have been better if the tracks had been done as trios rather than quartets. 1- Long, abrasive oboe tones over clattery percussion 2*- Clatter, ends ferociously 3- Quiet clatter, like footsteps 4*- Nice fluttery oboe sound 5- Slow moving, mostly quiet 6- A warbly sad (sort-of-)tune 7- Nice echoey sounds on guitar. Slow and atmospheric, loud near the end. 8- Fast, sounds like bird calls for a while 9- Small noises 10- Relentless drone, loud. Unlike the other tracks. | ||
