Two electroacoustic improvisers and composers--Lucio Capece on reeds, analog synths, effects, field recordings, drums machines, speakers in motion, and Marc Baron on field recordings and analog devices--developed these 6 extraordinary recordings that blend motion, perspective, sound and noise, and concrete references in a mystifying and mesmerizing journey in sound.

"While solo improvisational albums can be, and often are, great, the true potential of freely played and electroacoustic music is realized when two or more artists work together, exploring the way each individual's contributions interact and coexist. No label supports this argument better than Erstwhile, whose extensive roster of duo records spans a staggering range of creative combinations.

My Trust in You, a new disc from reductionist composer Lucio Capece and tape improviser Marc Baron, employs an ambitious arsenal of textures and elements, making use of everything from environmental recordings to noise-encrusted tape loops to disarming passages without any sound at all. Opening track "Believe in Brutus" begins the record in a disorienting fashion; it is here that Capece's and Baron's interplay is at its most whimsical and kinetic, with crackling chunks of sound quickly rising, falling, and fighting against interjections of bird chirps and complete silence. In contrast, "Black soils- museums without statues" begins a movement toward more patient, droning structures. It's a trend that continues throughout the remainder of the tracks, culminating with centerpiece "Kneel for your psychoacoustic rights," whose cathartic beauty is an unexpected treat after a roiling start.

My Trust in You initially seems to be among the more immediate of Erstwhile's releases, but soon reveals that many more layers are in need of uncovering."- jckmd, Noise Not Music
