Paul Lytton / Nate Wooley + Ikue Mori & Ken Vandermark

2012

"Quantity is seldom a per se value, but we have here one hundred and nine minutes of pure, passionate, involving high quality music."

Joe McPhee & Dominic Duval

2007

Free Fall

2007

Philipp Wachsmann / Kalle Moberg / Paul Lytton

2021

"The intergenerational trio was brought together at the Blow Out festival in Oslo in 2018, where they generated a lot of excitement. Norwegian music journalist Johan Hauknes wrote: "This was not your average impro-set, this was fresh, new, exciting and riveting!""

Ken Vandermark

2009

Original Silence

2008

"Pristinely recorded at a 2006 Italy performance, this is another outstanding work from Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, and Mats Gustafsson's improvisational noise/jazz/rock ensemble."

Nate Wooley

2009

"“Seven Storey Mountain” involve a sloughing off of conventional technique in favor of esoteric sounds, and a sensation of slow, steady ascent through mysterious terrain toward a distant peak. -Steve Smith, New York Times"

Nate Wooley

2013

"The concept of this cycle is to simulate the ecstatic experience described by Trappist Monk Thomas Merton in his book of the same name. The music is both introspective and noisily rapturous. -Mark Corroto, All About Jazz"

Nate Wooley

2016

"This album requires active engagement on the part of the listener. It’ll push you through your confusion into a place satisfyingly close to enlightenment. High volume and good speakers are heavily recommended. -David Menestres, Free Jazz Blog"

Joe McPhee / Michael Bisio / Fred Lonberg-Holm / Juma Sultan

2021

Kaja Draksler & Terrie Ex

2020

"Scrape meets sigh, jagged fish-hook pluck meets sparse wire-damped drizzle, instinct meets intuition, and when the disc is done, it’ll seem quite sensible to dive back in and swim the whole length in reverse. - Bill Meyer, Dusted"

Joe Morris & Evan Parker

2019

" It took many years but I finally had the chance to play duo with Evan Parker and I did what I had planned to do. At the end of the concert an African man walked up to me and said that he thought my guitar playing sounded like a kora. I told him the story. He responded “I play kora!” I asked him his name and he said “Foday Muso Susa!”. I said “You’re one of the kora players I listened too!” He is one of the greatest in the world. And not surprisingly, Phillip Glass has composed for him. -JOE MORRIS"

John Butcher / Andy Moor / Thomas Lehn

2001

"A set of stunning improvisations by Andy Moor (electric guitar), John Butcher (saxophones) and Thomas Lehn (EMS synth). "One of the most thrilling improv outings released this year so far." -Dan Warburton, The Wire"

Boneshaker

2017

Jaap Blonk & Terrie Ex

2018

"Don't expect conventional stuff. Let yourself be challenged. Who's Knocking? Well, Jaap Blonk and Terrie Hessels who not only make music very freely, but are also busy with electronics. Friends, musicians among themselves. Very nice album for those who like to be surprised. -Philippe De Cleen, Written in Music"

NRG Ensemble

1996

Nate Wooley / Fred Lonberg-Holm / Jason Roebke

2009

"The five improvisations on Throw Down Your Hammer and Sing still retain their attachment to the tools at the players' disposal; split-tones and cagey muted brass are clearly the trumpeter's task, while cutting tenor projection and string bulwarks belong to cello and bass, respectively. -Clifford Allen, All About Jazz"

Sylvie Courvoisier & Mark Feldman

2019

"The tour de force title track, at almost twenty minutes, is a world unto itself, with beautiful, charged musical fragments entering and receding, and enough room for each musician to develop ideas both independently and mutually, being governed all the while by the piece's central logic. Its use of space is especially noteworthy, allowing Courvoisier and Feldman to take full advantage of its expansive duration in presenting their ideas. And "Not a Song, Other Songs" may be even better, with a somewhat menacing undercurrent to the music provided by Courvoisier's thunderous chordal attacks and Feldman's ecstatic surges. - Troy Dostert, All About Jazz"

Ab Baars

2010

"This is a varied recording, a generous offering of personable, personal, and pleasingly experimental songs. Baar's employs just the right amount of stream of consciousness to soulfulness in his melodies to make 'Time to do my lions' a fascinating one. -Paul Acquaro, All About Jazz"
