Recorded at the Galeria Monumental during the Small Format Materials II Festival, Sul is a large string-oriented ensemble led by Ernesto Rodrigues that includes percussionist Andrew Drury and double bassist Hernani Faustino, alongside Creative Sources core players, orchestrated with viola, violin, cello, double bass, classical guitar, zither, percussion and objects. "Sul" is an extended improvisation, slowly evolving and containing detailed interaction between the players. The level of concentration and strict control is impressive, as are the wealth of approaches, extended techniques and unusual tonalities that interweave and blend in fascinating ways. A fine example of rich tapestries of sound that yield from Rodrigues' approach to ensemble improvisation.
