Inclusion Principle

That a variety of moods are conjured so effectively speaks volumes about how both artists are in synch with their objectives, so clearly vested in the realization of their ideas, so highly attuned to their birthing of new musics that to accompany them on their magical mystery tour is an experience not soon forgotten." - Darren Bergstein, DMG

The electronics / woodwind duo celebrates its 15th year of existence with a new album, the first for 5 years. Material developed for concerts during the period since the group’s previous CD release feed into this new set of studio recordings. Transformed field recordings, electroacoustic abstraction and incisive beats are sculpted carefully to give this high contrast music a powerful drive.

This new album adds some deep grooves to the characteristic minimalist abstraction of the group, and cutting through the resulting electronic soundscape, both Peréz and Archer play their front line horns with their characteristic angular melodic lines. The CD begins with a series of rhythm driven pieces before concluding with an extended suite Ornament Of Light, which explores the more spacious side of the duo as heard in live performance, and whenever the players explore the resonant space in which the music is played.
