Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded live in Berlin, this fiercely avant-garde summit unites four master improvisers from radically diverse musical backgrounds. The completely unscripted session is highlighted by the astonishing, otherworldly vocal acrobatics of Tuvan throat singer Sainkho Namtchylak, which violently collide with Morris's cornet and Kowald's kinetic double bass. It remains a thrilling document of spontaneous cross-cultural musical exploration.
