Bone Bells

The third duo collaboration from pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and guitarist Mary Halvorson, 'Bone Bells' features a collection of jointly developed compositions that balance intricate, pre-written material with fierce, interactive improvisation. Courvoisier’s percussive attack and classically informed piano style are juxtaposed against Halvorson’s signature quirky guitar work, which utilizes pitch-shifting effects and unconventional textures. The album's dynamic ranges from tightly executed unison passages that explode into wild improvisation to mournful, atmospheric conversations, showcasing a seamless and fluid exchange between the two instrumentalists.
