about

“The eight pieces offer distinct and bold strategies of playing or mutating the spectrum of sound of the trumpet, using only the trumpet and a mute. Some of the pieces focus on the extended techniques like «Awkward», «Membrane» or «Steps», delivered with an impressive sense of control and discover a myriad of weird, alien sounds. The most interesting pieces are the ones where the techniques serve the loose narratives and develop fragile dynamics, radiate nervous urgency or sketching a fragment of a story like «Points» and especially «Train» that imagines the rhythmic cycles and the rattling sounds of an archaic train, or the quiet and melancholic «Wobble» that closes this adventurous journey.”
