Kristoff K. Roll is the duo of Carole Rieussec and Jean-Kristoff Camps, heard here playing electro-acoustic devices. They are joined by Daunik Lazro on baritone sax for nine, mostly short pieces which I am assuming are all improvisations, though I could be wrong.

Throughout this recording I kept wondering what electroacoustic devices were being used, as "Premonition" opens with somewhat lo-fi sounding singing (sound files or perhaps a tape?) quickly joined by bass rumbles and multi-phonics on the horn. Much of what follows balances between poles of disparity and union, the physical acoustics of the sax sometimes in marked contrast to electronics and sometimes blending seamlessly into them. Metallic bangs and scrapes, industrial whines, field recordings of various stripes and occasionally perhaps an identifiable instrumental sound all fall into play.

There are many fine, longish passages of multiple texture-rubbing, as well as the odd moment of rapid-fire interaction. Lazro pays close attention to timbre and room tone and the electronicists alternately build on or subvert what the horn is doing. It's like listening to a man playing a saxophone in a room while the scenery around him changes rapidly and unexpectedly. My favorite bit is "Foret", wherein Lazro sounds like he's across the room, overblowing till blue in the face while the Rolls quietly murmur and whine in the other corner. Toward the end a loop conjures a distant memory of an old King Crimson record, just for a second. "Milieu du Chant" sounds, for all the world, like a busker playing a ballad in some large airport while an asian voice makes announcements over a public address system.
