Description
“Prominent Norwegian improvisers Frode Gjerstad (alto saxophone, clarinets) and Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) toured North America in 2008 sans a bassist, and recorded this album at a studio in upstate New York, accentuating their synergy via a largely rough and tumble implementation. Gjerstad shows a fondness for the upper-register and produces a myriad of microtonal and edgy sound-sculpting statements atop Nilssen-Love’s bustling polyrhythms, infused with perpetual motion and resonating counter-maneuvers.
Raw, tumultuous, and deliberated with dissimilar timbres, the artists’ passionately exercised high-octane mode of improvisation targets the neural network. It’s a challenging engagement that is most definitely not for the faint of heart.” -All About Jazz
