Prepared piano and percussion from Ofer Pelz and Preston Beebe, the percussionist using a diverse set of approaches to drums, cymbals and devices, blurring the sonic distinctions with Israeli-born Montreal-based pianist Ofer Pelz, who's preparations transform the piano in remarkable ways as the two focus on time, texture, space, and ambiance through seven fascinating improvisations. The interesting aspects of this duo's work is found in their pacing, which maintains a level of introspection despite each player's sometimes very active contributions. There is never any sense of frenetic or chaotic release, yet both players ebb and swell in response to the other player, with intense concentration and profoundly creative intent.
