Jazz electronic, free improv, noise. Liner notes: “Real-time improvisations, to be played at maximum volume.” Evan Parker is the featured saxophone prodigy from the UK, while American Wiese handles the electronics, tapes, and computer patches. Avant-garde, circular embraces of free forms, long takes, and all that is unpredictable. Muscular and strange, this is the kind of music I would stumble across in warehouses/art spaces in Berlin. A lot of people wouldn’t call this music, but if you have read this far, you’ll probably enjoy this.

1.Fluttery sax acrobatics and rhythmic, machinery static, heavy looped thump. A jail cell slamming closed and the flowers are talking to you from Alice in Wonderland. (14:31)
2. Chipper, sparse, rapid. (2:18)
*3. Trippy layers of scaling sax improv with subtle tape noise. (4:44)
4. Noise loops and layers are a bit more industrial, sounds like you are on board a train about to crash with a group of paranoid people who have each consumed two cups of coffee too many. (24:20)
