This is a fabulous collection of compositions where each one stops at the right time, without seeking an end. The sound is the narrative, the instruments, the performative motions of the performers, and the embodiment of sound.
These compositions reflect a deep understanding of music as a perceptual phenomenon and its fundamental elements. They offer an experience that is open to interpretation, that sounds familiar, inviting, and immersive. It invites the listener on a musical journey where the focus shifts from note and rhythm relationships to musical qualities such as granularity, density, intensity, timbre, continuity, and auditory perception explorations. Regardless of instrumentation, the musical textures are best perceived as the synthesis of simultaneous sound streams into a coherent whole with internal components and focal points. I would call this "Holophonic Musical Texture"; the compositions in this album escape from any traditional musical texture such as monophony, polyphony, or homophony.
The listener, the performer, and the sounding object become part of one sound world. It is an interaction between self-awareness, perception, and sensation that completes this deep, mystical, and exhilarating experience.
