There's a handheld camera aspect to this collaborative recording — hushed, creaking, intimate — that I found so very striking. I wasn't aware that these two experimental composers were a couple, but even so, you hear the tenderness between Sarah and Sean, in four-handed piano, guitar duos and chimed bells. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/vikings-choice-guide-to-bandcamp-friday-nov-2021/ Lars Gotrich
Quite taken by the elegant swarm of the title track. It sounds like a few pieces of music played at once — opera, spoken word, chamber music — weaving in and out of each together in phases. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/vikings-choice-to-bandcamp-friday-oct-2021/ Lars Gotrich
An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims
My favorite albums of 2023, #5.
Totally different than Orcutt's tortured blues guitar, this is an exploration of phased loops in the style of Steve Reich's old tape experiments. It achieves a hypnotic rhythm in the first few minutes and never lets go as it twists and mutates. Levrikon
