The very latest release from Inexhaustible editions is another foray into
the gap, the bridge maybe, between improvised sounds that are created in
certain environmental surroundings and a certain cinematic atmosphere shaped
by their interdisciplinary efforts. By the latter I’m trying to find
connections between different audio excursions, more concentrated into
“traditional” sound making, and this trio.
Eden plays prepared piano and utilizes several objects, Loriot plays his
viola in many different ways, while Tantanozi is more responsible for the
acute atmospheres of the CD with her flute and bass flute.
Ranging from the droney, melodic atmosphere of the opening ‘Kaiki’ (which in
another, one of the many, turn in this CD it resolves into a request of the
dynamic interplay between the instruments) up to the aggressively, but not
in volume, experimental like the second track ‘Curiosities,’ or the fifth,
Still Swirls, the glue that keeps all tracks together is their interplay.
Many times playful, quit a few times aggressive and full of energy, all the
tracks in this CD are adventures into the unknown territories that border
between experimentation and improvisation. There’s nothing to be said before
hand and this CD needs a lot of listening, but if you are eager to find the
aforementioned roots of their practice, you shall reap the fruits of another
great release from the label. Only two hundred copies are made, so be quick.
