Frank Gratkowski Project: Loft Exil V
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo doppio CD di Frank Gratkowski può servire come materiale importante per riflettere sulle modalità espressive tuttora vigenti nella musica improvvisata europea.

The trio commences with an open-ended sequence of interlacing movements on “Tartar.” As the musicians explore microtonal sounds and subliminally constructed mini-themes.
