UPDATE
January 7, 2022

"Pictures can be thrown away or changed,
But in music there is nothing to correct —
You cannot take it back.
It is more of a risk,
But it is great being on stage with people
Trying to create something good and maybe more."
—Peter Brötzmann

   Jazz & Improvisation

Battus, Pascal / Michel Doneda: Miracle
(Potlatch)

Dovetailing and combining the rich harmonics of Michel Doneda's soprano and sopranino saxophone with Pascal Battus' rotating surfaces--mechanisms from small consumer electronics and their like put in motion and in contact with resonators and vibrators--this French improvising duo create fascinatingly shifting, unusual textures and sonic environments.

Beuger, Antoine: Laments [2 CDs]
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)

Wandelweiser composer and performer Antoine Beuger reflects, or more correctly, laments, in nine solo vocal works of profound emotional depth, utterances first on the dearth of time and the vicissitudes and intersections we face; then on mourning and grief, a requiem that extolls the listener to use our voice to confront sadness that we may gain strength from it.
