Sax-violin improvs, abstract duets. Low-fi stuff recorded in a basement. Enjoyable stuff, with Siwula's sax painting all kinds of colors from fast throaty runs to screechy "outside" playing. Khoury shows off quite a bit of classical technique and a nice feel for atmosphere. Siwula is a free-jazz veteran who's rarely recorded; Khoury is a violinist from Detroit who's active in the experimental music scene there and runs the Entropy Stereo record label. 1- A fast drone, with melodies like regal bagpipe music. Ends with cool fast saxophone. 2- Relaxed energy 3- Slowish. Starts stacatto and low-key, gets more complex 4- Fast and choppy, with a slower but upbeat ending 5- Sparse (but fast) and relatively calm. Intense airy high sax towards the end. 6- Midtempo chamber-music feel 7- Gets into a fast swirling segment, then slower droney tones w/fast soloing on sax 8- Fast but thoughtful. Siwula's quick popping tones match with Khoury's wandering violin swirls. | ||
