Lisbon-based viola player Ernesto Rodrigues joins three Berlin-based musicians--cellist Guilherme Rodrigues, with double bassist Andrew Lafkas and electronics artist Bryan Eubanks--merging the lowercase approaches of Creative Sources groupings with experimental electronics for a 5-part album that ranges from the subliminal to assertive tones and momentum. The music has a great deal of tension, but also orchestral beauty, surprising from such a small grouping. Eubanks is often difficult to pinpoint, providing very subtle tones and feedback that could easily be string sounds, or at time the calling of alien birds. The characteristics of Creative Sources collective approaches is made distinct by the occasional aggressive motion, but overall the players maintain an even and remarkably controlled level of suspense and mystery. This would be a good entrypoint album for those unfamiliar with the Creative Sources catalog but who are interested in EA-Improv in general.
