SKU
482-1024
Jöelle Léandre (contrabass, voice), Mark Nauseef (percussion).
"Evident captures the first-ever collaboration between these two multi-faceted musicians at a concert on May 14th, 2002 in Eupen, Belgium. The music was created without previous discussion through listening and spontaneous interplay. A beautiful, crystalline WDR recording."
"...unconventionally lovely." — Copper Press
"Léandre explores the acoustic bass, often dealing in harmonics and arco effects, while Nauseef rifles through an assortment of uncategorizable percussion timbres. Rather than call-and-response interplay, the two spend most of the time collaborating on aural landscapes. Various narratives come to mind as this performance unfolds; for this listener, it sounds like a peek into some obscure European village, an effect which Léandre's occasional vocalizations enhance... a gentle, mostly calm outing which still offers depth and intrigue. Minimal packaging, excellent sound." — Signal to Noise
