"As improvisers we aspire to the unpredictable, in a relationship of mutual trust. Each one, braced in the moment, is inhabited by the memory of countless music played, heard, dreamed of. Determined by instrumental practice, acquired expe- rience, and by instinct and thought of one's own.
This tension implies knowing how to overcome certain pitfalls and traps already identified, to avoid repeating the already said. Finds, like a gold miner's nugget, come by surprise, by chance, because the invention cannot be decreed. Hence: to remain attentive to these precious epiphanies.
Strive for those suspended moments where we surrender to this magic that runs through us, of which we become the receivers, the conducting bodies. Cultivate an appetite for these intense plateaus where one experiences, sometimes fleetingly, an intuitive connection between musicians linked by a telepathic thread. Very special thanks to Florence de Retz and Maurice and Nicole Berland."-Ayler Records
