Balloons On Grass is a collaborative album by Tony Orzano, Bryan Rohmer, and Jeremy Wexler that thrives on the unpredictable energy of improvisation. Recorded in a single, free-form session, the album is a vivid journey through the intersecting worlds of post-rock, noise, and free jazz. Each track unfolds organically, with the musicians responding to each other in real-time, creating a dynamic tapestry of sound that is both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

The album opens with shimmering guitar textures and subtle rhythmic undercurrents, quickly giving way to passages of controlled chaos where dissonant noise and frenetic percussion collide. Throughout, the trio demonstrates a remarkable chemistry, their interplay marked by sudden shifts in mood and tempo. The music is at times meditative and atmospheric, at others explosive and unpredictable, always maintaining a sense of forward momentum.

Improvisation is the album’s shared language, allowing each musician to push the boundaries of their instruments and explore new sonic territories. Orzano’s guitar work ranges from delicate melodic lines to abrasive bursts of distortion, while Rohmer’s bass provides both grounding and propulsion. Wexler’s drumming is inventive and fluid, anchoring the group while also driving it into uncharted rhythmic territory.

The nearly hour-long set is a testament to the power of collective creativity. Rather than adhering to traditional song structures, Balloons On Grass invites the listener into a world where music is alive and ever-changing. The result is an album that feels both experimental and accessible, bursting with the vitality of artists unafraid to take risks. For fans of genre-defying music and spontaneous collaboration, Balloons On Grass offers an exhilarating listening experience that rewards repeated exploration.
