Album Notes & Community Reviews
A foundational member of the Philip Glass Ensemble, woodwind specialist Jon Gibson presents two extended, unaccompanied explorations of acoustic minimalism. Relying on intense circular breathing techniques, the performances build swirling, hypnotic overtones out of rapidly repeating melodic fragments. The recording blurs the lines between strict modern classical discipline and profoundly meditative drone music.
