"Not a record you can pop on, skim through and immediately find a solid handle to grab onto. Structure is there, but it roams as it sways, constantly adjusting reinventing itself as the musicians react to its mysterious design. Once you dive in with an attentive ear -- and proper volume -- you'll discover the delicate equilibrium that exists at its center, and the strange interdependence between the two instruments. Their delicate whispers are as eloquent as many improvisers' loudest howls; they seem to be having a profound conversation without having to utter a single word." Darin Gray has been associated with Dazzling Killmen, You Fantastic! Hoffman Estates, Brise Glace, Jim O'Rourke, etc. Limited stock.

"Darin and Loren performed at the Monroe County Library in Bloomington, Indiana in March 2000. You can hear two people, their instruments, an audience and a library inside the same moment, shaping a present as though it were a malleable object, transforming it, conversing with it, appreciating it and, ultimately, transcending it by simply living within it. No small feat, and though free improvisation is a game that anyone can play, it takes two musicians who understand each other -- and dynamics -- to transform it into something huge and profound. If you lock yourself inside the recording, approaching it not as a relic or a document but as an ever-evolving present, it seems to melt beautifully inside of your head, falling through time like honey from a spoon, each glimpse a separate sub-atomic entity, but also part of a glorious, gigantic whole."
