Recorded live in Ronchin, France, on December, 16th, 2023, Peter Orins.
"TOC loves encounters. And saxophonists. Alongside saxophonist Paulina Owczarek, the trio crafts a music composed of desynchronized layers, a mille-feuille of raw energy where rhythms are both suggested and suggestive. By exploring autonomous temporalities, the musicians naturally converge, with the saxophone finding its place seamlessly within TOC's improvised kraut maelstrom, where one might even glimpse a few psychedelic jellyfish, a flapjack octopus, or a harp sponge.
Regularly crossing paths between Poland and France, the four artists take every opportunity to deepen their rapport, like on that December Saturday in 2023, when they recorded their first LP live in front of an audience."-Tour de Bras
"Free hypnotic pop punk, post-rock, jazz-core ... Disturbing, orgiastic and communicative, TOC is unclassifiable, but shakes the feet and heads."-TOC-music.com
In December 2023, the French trio TOC-comprising Jérémie Ternoy on Fender Rhodes and piano bass, Ivann Cruz on guitar, and Peter Orins on drums-collaborated with Polish alto saxophonist Paulina Owczarek for a live performance in Ronchin, France. TOC is renowned for its unique blend of free hypnotic pop punk, post-rock, and jazz-core, delivering music that is both disturbing and communicative.
Owczarek, based in Krakow, is a saxophonist and improviser specializing in free improvisation and contemporary chamber music. She is the founder and conductor of the Krakow Improvisers Orchestra and has collaborated with various artists across disciplines.
This live recording captures the quartet's exploration of desynchronized layers and raw energy, creating a complex tapestry where rhythms are both suggested and suggestive. The musicians navigate autonomous temporalities, allowing the saxophone to seamlessly integrate into TOC's improvised kraut maelstrom, resulting in a performance that is both unpredictable and mesmerizing.
