Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
by Farrell Lowe
From the opening salvo of “Van Gundy's Retreat," it's obvious that Tim Berne's Science Friction ensemble will take no prisoners during this performance, recorded live in Switzerland on April 12th, 2003. Along with his alto saxophone, Berne's group consists of electric guitar, Fender Rhodes-fueled electronics, and drums. This instrumental configuration opens up worlds of new and ...
Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Tim Berne's The Sublime And... --his second album for Thirsty Ear's Blue Series--captures the raw energy and improvisational prowess of his working band, Science Friction.

Tim Berne: The Sublime And
by Rex Butters
Tim Berne's Science Friction Band fuses a quartet of radical sound sculptors who leave fields of scorched earth in their wake. The one-time prot'g' of Julius Hemphill continues to forge daring jagged music that blurs borders and leaps genres. With repeated listenings patterns and structures reveal themselves between periods of intensely imaginative improvisations. Ironically, for such ...
Tim Berne's Science Friction Band: The Sublime And

Tim Berne: Open, Coma
by AAJ Staff
Saxophonist Tim Berne's usual comfort zone (to the extent he ever really gets comfortable!) lies in smallish groups. Some of his best material has been performed in quartets and sextets. But on Open Coma, he throws the gates open to the Copenhagen Art Ensemble, whose 11 members mix with Berne's long-time collaborators Marc Ducret and Herb ...
Tim Berne: Science Friction
by AAJ Staff
In 1996, after years of working under the auspices of indie labels like JMT and Soul Note, alto saxophonist Tim Berne took total artistic control over his work. The first release on his new Screwgun label was Unwound, a sprawling three disc live set documenting his working quartet, Bloodcount. The freedom Berne earned with ...
