Artist: SAXOPHONE QUARTET, ROVA
Title: Morphological Echo
Label: RASTASCAN
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: RAST 027
"Rova celebrates their 20th anniversary together with the release of one of their most fascinating pieces: 'Maintaining the Web Under Less Than Obvious Circumstances'. Inspired by the game pieces of John Zorn and the conductions of Butch Morris, Rova has developed a complex 'web' of strategies that allows each of the players to direct the group both compositionally and improvisationally. Cues are given using a combination of hand gestures and props that change the rules of each piece as it is being created. Some of these elaborate props include decorative fans, flags and wind-up toys. There are 6 versions of the 'The Web' included on this disc, each going in a radically different direction."

Latest sampling extravaganza by Ostertag, who has previously recorded for Avant, Parachute, Rift, RecRec, etc. "The 3rd in Bob's Say No More series. Ostertag has once again used internationally renowned improvisers Mark Dresser (bass), Gerry Hemingway (drums) and Phil Minton (voice) as sound sources that are fed into a computer and rearranged in new and unusually exciting ways. This disc is derived from three generations of human/virtual collaboration with this particular group..." Limited stock.

"An elegant trio session featuring Sicilian saxophone legend Gianni Gebbia, teamed up with Rituel percussionist Garth Powell and Oakland bassist Damon Smith.

Each player expands the sound of the instrument in ways that defy description -- and make it difficult for the listener to tell who's playing what."
