Be sure to find here a cutting edge recording! Marvellous sound textures, perfectly balanced moods and violent delights.
Surprising, one-of-a-kind wind quartet featuring sizziling musicians taken here in an excellent album.
A Tidal music where elements dance in a fluid structure starting from solid centers and radiating to live nerve endings.
From the liners:
(…)Repeated cycles of ebb and flood, current changes, rise and fall, directions, speed, level increasing, dramatic depths and wave patterns can be observed along the coastlines of this music too, that proceeds through shared textures and simultaneous peripheral fires, still densities, path diversions and converging edges.
But those nodes, those amphidromes, those dense silences with all those sounds moving around and expanding to increase their presence and to come back re-generated, mixed up with rip current sediments…
Well, that’ s “Tidal”. (…)
