about

The Multikulti Project/ Spontaneous Music Tribune Series is dedicated to iberian free improvised music.

Liner Notes:

“They play as if they were one body” - such used to be said about John Stevens and Trevor Watts, as they were expanding the notion of spontaneously improvised music in the first half of 1970’s, practicing numerous aspects as the two-person edition of Spontaneous Music Ensemble.

“We are one!” - Vasco Trilla responded virtually when asked about the definition which expresses the of essence of music he plays with Yedo Gibson. Followed by a few equally expressive words describing his partner in the most laconic manner - free, brotherly, highly imaginative soul.

Energy, bravado and confidence are the words that come to my mind in attempt to verbalize impressions after listening to Antenna. The duet of saxophone and percussion. The history of improvised music recognizes thousands of similar cases. Before you proceed to listen to this album, I will attempt to convince you that it really is an extraordinary duet, seemingly distant from the idiom of free jazz, but at the same time saturated with emotion of such genre. On top of that - with all certainty, in the catalog of Spontaneous Music Tribune publishing series, it is a position which is so close to the legacy of John Coltrane.

Yedo Gibson, a Brazilian resident in Portugal, plays baritone and soprano saxophone, as well as on the serbian version of flute called flura. Vasco Trilla, a Catalan of strong, fatherly portuguese roots, plays drums and percussion instruments. Six relatively short stories. A hint of dance on soprano, a grain of exotic percussions. Baritone light like a lark transforms into a predatory leopard. Percussions are cutting and multidimensional as always. I feel so jealous knowing that you are about to listen to this music for the very first time.

„Grają, jakby byli jednym ciałem!” – zwykło się mawiać o Johnie Stevensie i Trevorze Wattsie, gdy w pierwszej połowie lat 70. ubiegłego stulecia poszerzali pojęcie muzyki swobodnie improwizowanej, trenując wiele jej aspektów w ramach dwuosobowej edycji Spontaneous Music Ensemble.

„Jesteśmy jednością!” – odkrzyknął wirtualnie Vasco Trilla, gdy zapytałem, jakie określenie najlepiej oddaje sedno jego muzykowania z Yedo Gibsonem. Potem jeszcze kilka słów, które są równie wyraziste, a opisać mają jego partnera w sposób maksymalnie lakoniczny – wolna, bratnia dusza o wielkiej wyobraźni.

Żywioł, brawura i pewność siebie - to z kolei określenia, jakie przychodzą mi pierwsze na myśl, gdy próbuję zwerbalizować wrażenia z odsłuchu „Antenny”. Duet saksofonu i perkusji. Historia muzyki improwizowanej zna tysiące takich przypadków. Nim zasiądziecie do tej płyty, będę usiłował przekonać Was, że jest to jednak duet niezwykły. Pozornie daleki od idiomu free jazzowego, ale z drugiej strony, przesycony emocjami tego gatunku. Dodatkowo – z pewnością, w katalogu serii wydawniczej Trybuny Muzyki Spontanicznej, pozycja najbliższa spuściźnie Johna Coltrane’a.

Yedo Gibson, brazylijski rezydent portugalski, zagra tu na saksofonie barytonowym i sopranowym, a także na serbskiej odmianie fletu, zwanej flura. Vasco Trilla, Katalończyk o silnych, ojcowskich korzeniach portugalskich, zagra na perkusji i perkusjonaliach. Sześć dość krótkich historii. Odrobina tańca na sopranie, szczypta perkusjonalnej egzotyki. Baryton lekki jak skowronek, który potrafi być drapieżny jak lampart. Perkusja kąśliwa i wielowymiarowa, jak zawsze. Jakze Wam zazdroszczę, że będziecie tego słuchać po raz pierwszy!

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey

supported by 15 fans who also own “Antenna”

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
