Brand / Perkis / Robair / Shiruba / Sperry - Supermodel Supermodel

Exploratory meeting of English trombonist Gail Brand with Bay Area improvisers, including the late bassist Matthew Sperry. Put together by Gino Robair, this set features the improvisers arranged in various groupings recording over several months. Everyone here has a fondness for abstracting away the instrument to focus on the range of sound that can be generated, the resulting tracks have an excellent cohesive vision. Very interesting stuff.

1. Slow, clattery musing
2. Rumbling feedback
3. Ominous & creaking
4. Mellow electronics
*5. Quiet echoes
*6. Styrofoam scraping builds to a frenzy
7. Gurgling feedback
*8. Lurching trombone & bass lead the improv
9. Violent group impov fades out to a whisper
*10. Spooky ambience
*11. Active, buzzy
12. Very quiet
*13. Starts jumbled, ends spookily
