«An identical ensemble recording two completely different pieces within just a single day’s distance – “Signal to Noise Vol. 4” proves that it a mere enumeration of equipment will never do in describing improvised music. It captures a group already partially strained by an intense touring schedule, yet simultaneously probably at their most relaxed: There’s not a tiny bit of egoism to be found in these sessions, with all artists showing enough respect to listen to each other and enough initiative to inject their counterparts with fresh ideas. Just like the performances themselves, listening to them feels different each time, with new details surfacing again and again. The series may soon be ended, but the process continues inside the listener» «Listening to this gradual and textural music is like peering into a pool, witnessing the play of light and surface ripples, and the varying degrees of clarity or opaqueness.» «The six of them spent two days of recording and one concert at the lovely Yamaguchi Centre For Arts and Media which brings from the studio sessions this CD. To start with the second piece: this is a heavy load of highly concentrated playing with everybody seems to be really working his instrument, while as a group building up and up in a mighty crescendo. Everybody sounds at the same while focussing on their own instruments and letting the rest get on to. A total contrast to the first piece, which is quiet and thoughtful - almost meditative in approach, with lots of room to breath for everybody - the listener included. It's the first one I like best, but it means only I'd play that one more, while the second piece has strong points too. Improvisation master class this one.» «…Free jazz ispirato e avanguardista.» |
