"The new atomic working band from Martin Kuchen saxophones, Rafal Mazur - acoustic bass guitar and Vasco Trilla on drums. Recorded on studio and concert session at the end of December 2018 during VI edition of Musica Privata festival i Lodz."-Fundacja Sluchaj

"The cooperation of the Swedish saxophonist Martin Küchen and the Catalan drummer Vasco Trilli is undoubtedly becoming closer. Just a few weeks after the excellent Phicus + Martin Küchen Sumpflegende album, we get the Nobject trio in which both of these musicians are supported by Rafał Mazur, who traditionally plays an acoustic bass guitar. For the image of the entire cooperation of the above-mentioned artists, it should be mentioned that last autumn the album Baza was released, documenting a duo meeting of ... Küchen and Mazur.

Today, however, we're interested in the Nobject double disc, titled very energetically X-Rayed, and published by the Listen! Foundation. It contains recordings from the sixth edition of the Musica Privata festival in Łódź, which took place last fall. The first disk (less than 40 minutes) contains three free improvisations, recorded ... without the participation of the audience, while the second disk - a 30-minute performance with the participation of that audience. We look inside because it's absolutely worth it!

When prophecy fails. Quiet murmurs from the tube of the tenor saxophone, the dusk of the snare glaze, the fleshiness of the bass guitar strings, although devoid of fresh current, but extremely energetic - the opening situation seems to be fully recognized. A sensual intro woven from silence spots - a droplet bowler, agile guitar and slim percussion with a spinning wheel. Narration sewn with great effort, but without gnashing teeth, rather in a sense of great freedom rather than excessive buttocking. In 5 minutes, the musicians already have power on their side. They pull up a dense flow of warm air, not forgetting the low sound parts. For the opening finale - gallop in all its glory.

Willfull blindness. A bass intro just after the umbrella umbrella, next to a sad sopranino that throws smears Swaying-pressing narrative with repetition sewn under the skin. After 150 seconds, Rafał turns on the massive drive, Vasco jumps after him, like a frightened tomcat, and Martin step by step bursts his tale uphill. After 4 minutes, instinctive slowdown, resistance, sonoristics and preparations. The army of small worms on the snare gets electricity, the saxophone and bass enter into a modest imitation - how wonderfully everything is arranged in dramatic terms. After 9 minutes of turbocharging, Mazur again gives cheers, creating a truly epic ending for the colleagues.

Malevolent ghosts. The tenor returns and hums like a scorched fan, the strings snort, Vasco resonates from the beyond. The narrative is built by an overactive bass player who does nothing but wonders on the neck, the saxophone babbles on the side, the drums play the ambient network. A massive, but slow tale, which thickens with excess heat, and after a while spills over a wide stream, after all, no one is in a hurry. 8 minutes - the musicians seem to be looking for faults and are very effective in it. The next step is a short but sensual solo exhibition of the drummer with metal objects dancing on the snare drum. When Martin and Rafał return from a quick cigarette, the trio takes on power, and the filigree sopranino seems to be leading the chic. Expression loops, the musicians wind up each other, like watch springs, and the machine wades for a golden fleece. In the middle of 14 minutes sudden stopping! Cleaning the saxophone nozzles, polishing strings and flat metal surfaces. Again, a great change is given by Mazur, who knows if he doesn't play his life album here (of course, till now!). After 17 minutes - one blink of an eye is enough for the trio to lose themselves in gallop. The flame is extinguished on a red-hot guitar neck.

The flood that never came. The sound of air drops in the tube, short runs on the neck, disc resonance - the musicians are eagerly building the first bend of a new story. The narrative winds compactly, divided roles, emotions on the rising curve. At the entrance to the proper narrative, a pinch of oneirism and dry ambient. No rush. But after 5 minutes the first explosion of emotions from bass & drums. Comment sopranino after several dozen seconds - in a point! 8 minutes - dense flow, action chasing reaction, musicians are getting body to body, direction - power eruption. After a few minutes, they suppress emotions and enter into an intriguing mac ... with silence. They feel good about her! All three fall into resonance almost simultaneously, as if a strong magnetic field suddenly arose under their feet. Mutual imitations in the glow of oneirism - the saxophone existentially screams, the bass thunders, the drums become one big plate. Bells, worms, vibrators and bow on the neck - the specialty of the factory! Vasco adds to the fire, sounds like a great post-symphony orchestra. The slender sounds of the saxophone and bass emphasize the quality of the Catalan's creation. The final part of the 30-minute set is built step by step without rushing. The saxophone takes the dramatic core on its shoulders, then the bass strongly supports it. After 26 minutes, all cards are already revealed - a gallop for eternal glory and delight of the reviewer is happening right before our eyes! Then just putting out the flame on a rough volume, and applause. We waited for them almost 70 minutes. Bravo!
