An incredible display of control and lyrical development in understated improvisation using circular breathing and extended techniques from Israeli bass clarinetist Yoni Silver. In three extended pieces Silver evokes a unique and powerful palette of sound and approaches to the instrument, each a captivating voyage. Silver can also be heard on the Kadima label in association with JC Jones, Yoni Kretzmer and Steven Horenstein, has performed in duo with DAniel Davidovsky, and in duo and trio with Harold Rubin.
