TRUMMERFLORA - RUBBLE 2 (CIRCUMVENTION/ACCRETIONS) |
| |
The name of this experimental music collective refers to a variety of flora that only appears in war ravaged areas. When parts of buildings and earth are fused in rubble structures during war violence, seeds and such that have been dormant in the earth suddenly find themselves in a situation to live, growing from gardens of broken buildings. The music herein is fairly eclectic within its parameters, including more accessible tracks such as "Parlance" by Lisle Ellis and Marcos Fernandes, "Excerpts from Suite of Dreams" by Ellen Weller and Bob Weller and "Kalkengel" by Permanent Flow, all avant garde jazz numbers; "Track 1 (For RC)" by the Nathan Hubbard Skeleton Key Orchestra, a strange number that hits like some kind of dischordant dadaist jazz gone random; the percussive textures of Curtis Glatter's "Bala"; the dark ambience of Daman Holzborn's "E. Digest"; the twangy weirdness of "Field Day" by Trio Maghreb; the haunted meets jazz musings of "Susan's Stretto" by Erik Griswold, Scott Walton and Nathan Hubbard; the atmospheric oddity "Vitriol" by Obscuricon; the hyper noise of "A Remixed Offering of Interconnectedness" by robert m; and another Nathan Hubbard selection, "Track 2 (for AB)". Die-hard experimentalists will likely embrace most of these offerings. Others will like some and be turned off by others. But all told, this is a fine release and worth seeking out for adventurous listeners. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
