Like on “Occurring“, the music shifts between moments of dense interaction and lengthy moments of ephemeral dialogues and gradual sonic developments, giving among the items a deep religious dimension, and each Stańko and Peacock are totally relaxed on this totally free surroundings, and it additionally appears to present them wings. The lead voices shift the whole time, and their pure sense of lyricism largely determines the general sound, at instances weaving simultaneous sonic threads round one another’s phrases, or giving house for solo improvisations, by which Peacock fortunately participates. Aside from two brief tracks, most items are round ten to twenty minutes lengthy, permitting for the gradual and cautious growth of concepts, and providing the listener shut to 3 hours of unimaginable music.

I’m not trying to find something, nor do I consider something whereas taking part in. Every second turns into a second of grace. One provides himself physique and soul, unconditionally, with out compromise”.
