Bassist Michael Bardon featured in the Nat Birchall Quartet and S…
Heartless
'An investigation into some smaller sounds and interactions from this new trio, plus a few excursions into more expansive territory. All of the music was improvised and performed as heard, apart from the coda of the closing track Rotten Star which is a collage.

This is a very aurally-appealing piece (from a more conservative viewpoint, perhaps), but its shimmering surface belies …

Die Höfner Akten
Tip! New collaborative work by two veterans of the European experimental scene, Dirk Serries + Asmus Tietchens. Dirk Serries and I have long been colleagues and friends.

Dirk and I had agreed upon the follo…

Their finely tuned sound makes even the most adventurous tones compelling.
