" 'Now let's make music with more holes in it.' (Audrey Chen)
These recordings in two movements
SR310 MINTON / CHEN
SR311 MINTON / CHEN QUINTET
can be taken as, on the one hand, pieces for two voices and improvisation chamber orchestra (which is what the musicians felt throughout the recording session) and, on the other hand, pure free improvisation.
Phil Minton / voice
Audrey Chen / voice + cello
Guy Segers / electric bass
Peter Jacquemyn / double bass
Teun Verbruggen / drums + percussions

Things get dislocated, gather themselves, spread across areas of varying intensities. More intimate or more complex song. closer to the sacred, left untouched by mediation, even slightly incomprehensible, though mostly
ambivalent and reality-piercing. At times, the music seems to lead us to a meaning that is deeper than the textual level. or is it the depth of another possible song? That's when the music takes us to areas that seem perpetually urging, more than their simple addition of voices and instruments." [label info]
