An interesting disc of all-acoustic improvisation utilizing two trumpets and a guitar, recorded in Ulher's flat in Hamburg. Not that any of that is apparent while listening...

Beginning with what sounds like a marble rolling around a metal bowl, which gradually mutates into rising and falling wind. Bumping and crackling sounds gather momentum and are joined by strangulated vocalizing, buzzing and what sounds like magnetic tape being dragged back and forth across a playback head. Everything comes to a dead stop and then several seconds later starts again with clattering metal moving back and forth in the stereo picture, as if the player was rocking toward and then away from the microphone. Whistling, like seagulls, some gritty friction, note smears and more insistent whistling. Some of the sonics seem lo-fi, as if pre-recorded and played back on a cheap cassette player. New sounds enter often and always catch the ear.

The second piece, "1:0" goes from drones to percussive sounds and tin-plate rattling to a bit of quick-quick, like the handful-of-sounds-a-second British style. "2:0" has high thin shifting frequencies, taps and low-lowing, smacked notes and what sounds like a reed instrument. "Half-time" sounds like huge flapping metal plates with motors and serrated winds or maybe a duet of jackhammers with fairly solid imitations of shortwave sounds. And on it goes, rarely repeating an idea until it all comes to an abrupt end. I listened to this disc many times and was always engaged and surprised by the playing.
