As a warning, this music has nothing to do with free jazz, but it surely meets our excessive expectations of progressive and artistic boundary-breaking music. The principle materials is offered by German spinet-player Christoph Schiller about whom we have written earlier than, within the context of his collaboration with different musical minimalists. A pianist by coaching, Schiller switched to spinet already some years in the past, probably due to the lighter texture of the tones that may be extracted from the within of the instrument. His companion right here is Italian percussionist Carlo Costa, who is without doubt one of the subtlest and probably most lyrical of the second. 

Collectively they weave 4 items for us, structured and creating round silence, calmly, with precision and an exquisite sense of tempo and energy, every time including single strokes or featherlight touches to a collection of strings and objects. That is music that requires cautious and quiet listening, personally, individually, intimately. 

Within the chaos of year-end, the violence on this planet, a budget business pleasure, the false claims of politics, and all the opposite stuff that is occurring, it’s a aid to take a outing, to isolate your self from all this, and to take heed to this music. You’ll be delighted by its aesthetic, and I hope you’ll really feel invited to actively particpate of their world of unhurried precision and authenticity.
