Out & Gone Music 016

"The only instruments played on Rip Current are the guitar of Jason Bivins and the double bass of David Menestres, but the pair probe their tools so thoroughly that it seems there’s almost no sound they can’t conjure. At times their dialogue is like a lab experiment, with each player proposing a note or chord, and the other responding to push the conversation forward. In other places, Rip Current is more like a roller coaster, with plucks, pounds, and strums ricocheting around the stereo space. The subtle improvisations between Bivins and Menestres are engaging at every turn; it’s hard to predict what moves they’ll make, and that uncertainty is one of the most compelling qualities of their work together."

The trombone-contrabass duo, that in itself is worthy of attention, because we don't see this combination very often. And it's a truly monumental record. Not in the sense of noise intensity or length (although it is a good one), but in the way it manages to encompass microworlds, both sonic and abstract. jiristepan
