Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description Personnel: Mat Maneri (viola, recorder); Randy Peterson (drums). Liner Note Author: Steve Dalachinsky. Recording information: 06/1998-08/1998. On the surface, it would seem that a violin and trap drums improvisation duet couldn't possibly work. The sheer force of the percussion dynamics and its multiple-voiced attack would almost insure that a violinist couldn't compete. But then, Mat Maneri is no ordinary violinist. Foregoing his "normal" microtonal approach to improvisation, Maneri goes all out with drummer Randy Peterson on this explosive collection of improvisation duels. What is most striking about the 11 pieces here -- none of which need be written about separately, as the disc feels like on continuous gig -- is the sheer consonance between the two principals. Given that in an electrified improv setting like this one, each player is invited by the sheer proximity of being there to challenge the other, to walk further out on an invisible ledge and to discover things. Maneri and Peterson go many steps past it -- but they go together. They discover through the dynamic shifts, tonal colors, and varying modes of attacking empty space that there is no there, there. In their approach, there is no separation between voicings; they sing each other into existence and out again as vibration into the space, almost as if one were applying makeup to adorn emptiness. This can only be done if one sees or hears the connection between all things in the area one inhabits. Therefore, through fiery free jazz logistics and new music's improvisatory methodologies, Maneri and Peterson not only hear, but also they forcefully create the connections between all sounds in the studio and their resultant tonal variances. They don't play call and response so much as respond and respond some more. The stimulus is the gig itself, and the shattering of silence with a modified version of itself is the language. This is an absolutely dead-on set of very live, enthralling music that speaks not to cutting contests or even cooperative free blowing, but a true communal language for the creation of new musical territories. ~ Thom Jurek About InnerSleeve We offer unbeatable prices, quick shipping times and a wide selection of vinyl.
