Drummer, Lander Gyselinck (1987°) is geen onbekende in de Belgische geïmproviseerde muziekscene. Een muzikale spons die zich graag in de meest diverse muzikale flora en fauna begeeft, van bands zoals STUFF. en Sinister Sister tot jazz en impro bij LABtrio en Kris Defoort trio. Zijn inspiratie haalt hij onder meer uit de periode waar hij in New York vertoefde en er verschillende muziekscenes opzocht.
Howard Peach ontsproot daar en belichaamt die schizofrenie met improvisaties en eigen stukken. Dit New Yorks trio is gezegend met de fenomenale klank van Chris Speed, tenorsax en klarinet, een erkend muzikant en componist uit de New Yorkse avant-garde scene, de man achter Skirl Records, en te zien in bands zoals The Claudia Quintet, Endangered Blood, AlasnoAxis, Craig Taborn and Dave King.
Simon Jermyn, een hidden treasure op elektrische bas, afkomstig uit Dublin, is een van dé opkomende jonge artiesten in Brooklyn, die in talrijke formaties speelt zoals Large Detective (Kirk Knuffke, Curtis Hasselbring and Vinnie Sperazza), het Pete Robbins Transatlantic Quartet, regelmatig optreedt met Jim Black, Tony Malaby...

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual.
The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
It is amazing how a great composer can turn simple, concise emails and a simple brass overtone exercise into an empathetic, explanatory piece of music! I am moved each time I hear it. emersonreynolds
