Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in absolute isolation, this staggering recording showcases the legendary Dutch percussionist engaging in pure, uninhibited free improvisation. The performance is highly physical and intensely chaotic, utilizing a vast array of traditional drums and found objects to produce atonal, deeply rhythmic textures. It is a challenging, foundational text for European avant-garde percussion.
