"These first two releases will present a closer look into Rempis' diverse musical activities. The Rempis Percussion Quartet is Rempis' oldest active band, and in many ways his home base musically. The band first formed for a Chicago house party in 2004, and has toured in the U.S. and Europe regularly since 2006, releasing five previous recordings for Utech Records, Not Two Records, and 482 Music. Phalanx, a two-cd set of live concert recordings made during a tour in the spring of 2012, finds them in top form, barnstorming cities on two continents with their propulsive improvisations. This is the second recording of the band featuring its newest member, Norwegian phenom Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and these two hard-charging sets show a band at the peak of its creative force."-Aerophonic
