"I just came up with the idea: What if we just rented a studio for a weekend? We didn't have any plan as to what was gonna happen. We ended up playing for these long improv pieces. Some were 20 minutes, some were 30 minutes, some were 40 minutes. In the beginning, it's like, "Let's try something slower," and then it just erupts into what it sort of became most of the time... which is total cacophony. It was like a wild animal you couldn't hold back. No matter where we started, we ended up all sort of going crazy."
Let's face it: you must really love drums to give this a try, For the casual listener, the musical window shopper, there is just nothing for you here. This music will confuse you, maybe annoy you, perhaps even cause a panic attack.
Still around? This record is a unique document of what happens when set up together in a room and just commence to explode. You'll discover lots of gems in that single take of pure spontaneity that keeps on shifting and transforming.
You can zoom in on action-reaction, call and response, time games, shifting levels of synchronization and de-synchronization, repetition and pattern - it's all there if you want to dissect it. But simply relaxing into the sound, riding the contours of energy, density and movement may be another rewarding way of listening to this ever moving, flowing, musical river.
