JOËLLE LEANDRE & ÀKOSH S.: Kor Leo, 2008 IMPROV – Far-out duets between bassist Leandre and reedist Àkosh Szelevényi, a mix of the sparse intimacy you’d expect from a duo and a surprisingly full, multi-layered sound spiked with vocal growls and grunts. Bristles with raw energy... this will definitely get their attention. * * * * | Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 6, 7 1. 13:28 – bowed bass & clarinet overlap like a chorus of frogs; barks & squeaks; 2nd half very quiet w/bell, big pauses, then screeching sax 2. 9:00 – starts with rustling/breathing/groaning; then sax tiptoes, skronks & screams over churning waves; becomes calm, then downright evil 3. 1:59 – plaintive horn wails over low bass drone, like a muezzin’s call 4. 5:27 – vibrating flute drone interacts with high bass squeaks 5. 14:00 – melodic solo sax, then close interplay with thin bass (like two flies, aimlessly buzzing). Becomes skittery, then pained, very quiet at midpoint, then inquisitive in second half... ends on a drunken note 6. 3:13 – impressively creaky bowed bass solo: remarkable free technique 7. 4:21 – low drone with whispers; becomes quicker/more sinister, settles back [ Fo ] 02/13/09 | ||
