Space Quartet: Directions
ByThe result of Toral's experiments is his ability to manipulate electronic and acoustic feedback as an instrument in the same manner Torres plays his saxophone. Their organic musical call and response "Photonic Radiation" is as conversational as say, a saxophone/trumpet dialogue, if that back and forth was played out in the avant-garde arena. Like his musical compatriot Christof Kurzmann, Toral plays his instrument, not the other way around. The electric pitches that inform "Such A Hungry Yearning Burning Inside Of Me" coax Antunes' muscular bass attack and the energy ramps up with Morāo's busy drumming before the cackle and squawk of Torres fills the space. The bookended "Directions" and "Other Directions" glide by with an easily consumable swing, delivering a kind of ancient bebop futurismo.
