Battle Pieces 4
Relative Pitch
“The music written for Battle Pieces was the first within a system Wooley calls "social music". Each piece is constructed for a single soloist, who improvises with no score. The remaining members of the group perform an ever changing kaleidoscope of short and long pieces without verbal recourse with each other or the soloist. ”

“Listening at high volumes reveal Corsano playing every inch of his drum set, woody chops echo beneath splashy fills and inhuman snare hits while Haker-Flaten runs speed trials around Wooley’s in-the red-runs across a ruinous tonal field. A truly magnificent thing to behold. - Ryan Hall, Tome to The Weather Machine:”

Azimuth (Live at Constellation)
Astral Spirits
“The tape Azimuth (Live at Constellation) features three lengthy group improvisations all marked by a fiery intensity, with the front man's playing less indebted to his usual Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane influences. - Peter Margasak”
