Phra-se-ol-o-gy
(FMR)
Captured live in the Manila studio, the duo of Swiss drummer/percussionist Christian Bucher and alto saxophonist Rick Countryman engage in improvisation built on the idea of musical phrasing as syntax, where saxophone lines, punctuated drums and responsive space converge into a series of sound-sentences in which tone, pause and gesture become elements in a live lexicon of form.

... Seeing the Way The Mole Tunnels...
(Balance Point Acoustics / International School of Evidence)
Energetic trio interplay from saxophonist James McKain with Damon Smith and Weasel Walter, recorded in Collinsville, Illinois, where taut lines, volatile textures, and razor-cut dynamics sketch "free jazz by way of the European tradition," six concise pieces whose titles nod to Thomas Bernhard and whose restless momentum — anchored by springy bass and splintered drums — turns spontaneity into vividly shaped form.
Oakland Reductionist Orchestra
West And East Baying

Schindler, Udo / Paul Rogers
Ephemeral Essences
(FMR)
A striking Munich concert from Udo Schindler and Paul Rogers, where reeds, brass and seven-string double bass trace Burnside-inspired titles into supple, slow-burning forms, their precise timbral interplay and dynamic restraint yielding an improvised chamber drama of quiet intensity, eruptive weight, and finely poised, moment-to-moment architecture.

Recasting theatre music composed by Szilárd Mezei along with a Hungarian folk song arranged by Mezei in an intimate live improvisation from a duo of violin/voice and viola, drawing out folk-tinged motifs and open forms into tensile dialogues, balancing chantlike lines and earthy drones with quicksilver bow work to reveal a spare, luminous chamber language that breathes beyond the stage.

Sichtungen & Lichtungen
(FMR)
In an incisive Munich set, multi-reedist Udo Schindler and pianist Katharina Weber transform breath, wood and wire into tensile, reductionist improvisations that pivot from hushed, inside-piano timbres to bristling polyphony, their acute listening and timbral agility forging a vivid, moment-to-moment architecture of detail, momentum and quietly luminous intensity.

Actions [VINYL 180g]

Le Havre [VINYL + CD]

A 26-member, non-hierarchical improvising ensemble recorded live over three days in Le Volcan in April 2021, where individual instrumental voices — from saxophone and guitar to rotating surfaces and electronics — merge into a shifting mass of acoustic and electric event, preserving each performer's singular identity even as the group spins into turbulent collective invention.
