![]() "We have played together in countless settings over the years, ranging from Dave's large African music/Improvising 'China Pig Orchestra' down to a duo. The duo music on this CD is based on the traditional approach where two musicians engage in an instrumental dialog, reacting spontaneously to each other and changing the music as and when they see fit. A very significant further element is added by the ability to reintroduce recorded sounds the musicians have just played, recorded in real time and often looped and/ or processed so that although their origins can often be deduced, they have their own character, produce their owns sonic impact, and being autonomous to the live musical sounds, they cange the musical landscape in very often unexpected ways. This CD is made up mostly of two long improvisations recorded on 30th November 2010, when we had unseasonal snow (hence the title), and the three shorter pieces recorded in 2005 & 2006, all of which have distinctive musical characteristics. This CD allows us to document and celebrate our music collaboration that stretches almost two decades."-Ntshuks Bonga and Dave Draper ![]() Improvised Music Jazz Electro-Acoustic Electro-Acoustic Improv FMR Records Duo Recordings Friends of Squid Search for other titles on the label: FMR. |
