Peaceful improvisations from a trio of sax, bass, and viola. Abstract work that's often fast-paced but has a sour/dark feel. That's because Joe and Mat are into the "microtonal" thing, where the octave is split into more than the usual number of notes; some passages sound "out of tune" on the first listen. Nice stuff overall, with some intense moments. Recorded in a stone cathedral in France, so the slower tracks have some nice reverberations. 1- Slow, meditative. 2- Fast, fluttery work. Gets aggressive. 3- Gutteral, gnarled saxophone solo. 4- Mostly slow. Starts quiet and serene; gets louder near the end 5- Viola-bass duet. Serene; picks up steam near the end. 6- Almost bluesy sax tones. A medium-paced jazzy romp. Ends slow. 7- Small, quiet chirps 8- Quick and fluttery, upbeat 9- A healthy jumble. Starts busy but slow, catches on when Mat gets into some open-string slashing on viola. It's 15 minutes long, so it has the obligatory slow segment, too. Ends with screaming, burly sax. 10- Calm | ||
