Wonderful work from the twin-reed combo of Bernd Konrad and Hans Koller – a record that really takes off from some of Koller's free music experiments of the 70s! The group is a very cohesive one – with Konrad on soprano and baritone, and Koller on tenor and sopranino – alongside violin by Didier Lockwood, piano by Christoph Spendel, bass by Thomas Stabenow, and drums by Martin Bues – and the overall feel here is strongly fascinated with textures of sound amidst the more angular reed interplay, in a way that's still relatively structured, but often flows into darker corners of more abstract expression. Core titles include "Jeannerette", "Nordlicht", "Phonolith 1", "Traumtanzer", and "Aufwartsregen" – and the CD also features 3 additional tracks recorded by Konrad and Koller in 1994!
