"A spontaneous session of visceral cinematic improvisations and in the moment compositions from three prominent Philadelphia musicians. BASE3 is an experimental trio featuring Doug Hirlinger on drums, mbira, percussion, flute; Barry Meehan on bass; and Tim Motzer (Ursula Rucker, Burnt Friedman + Jaki Liebeziet of CAN) on electric and baritone guitars and loops all international musicians active on the Philadelphia jazz and experimental scenes. Dark Matter reveals an honest record exhibiting the musicians multi- faceted abilites and their pure expression. Among the albums four extended pieces is the haunting closer, Ninth Ward, a beautiful and dark eulogy for the people of New Orleans. Fans of guitar improvisers, like Marc Ribot and Derek Bailey, will appreciate this."
"Improvised, experimental trio venturing into the outer reaches with searing, extended soloing, percolating loops, and ethereal textures."-Guitar Player
