Early in 2019, Joseph O’Connor, Theo Carbo and Tim Green came together for a week of rehearsals and recording in Melbourne, Australia to create an experimental project. In the origins of their rehearsals, they focused their creative dialogue less on how they wanted their music to sound, and more on how they would interact as musician, specifically imagining how their gestures would move across one another in an ambient space, and architecting a sparse, avant-garde effect. Much of their inspiration was derived from the hocchiku playing of Watazumi Doso Roshi, whose arrangements are simultaneously asymmetrical and organic. Though the group's first recording in January 2019 was encouraging, their second recording in July later that year achieved what they aspired for: ideas flowed naturally and patiently, echoing throughout the space. Piano, drums and guitar inhabit distinct and detailed territories of their own, but in this performance, these territories are intertwined like rough-hewn tiles in a mosaic. The results are intricately textured and richly harmonic. Tim Green is a member of Cyclone Trio and has one release on 577 Records, The Clear Revolution (2021) and two releases on Orbit577 Electric (2020) and Cataclysm... Live at Cafe Oto (2020).

This album is absolutely on the mark! The best of what modular synth is capable of, plus a true spiritual feeling of the "griot" heritage, without aping anything. I'm more than impressed. So beautiful. wilsonnovitzki
This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters! pjnewman-364
