Reception In a review for '' Jazzwise'', Kevin Whitlock wrote: "the empathy between the pair is palpable, and unusually for this kind of improv, they sound as if they're having a whale of a time... this music is about texture and space rather than tunes and narrative, but it's surprisingly accessible, and a compelling, valuable record of an intriguing collaboration between two like-minded explorers of the musical margins." ''JazzWords Ken Waxman stated: "the CD's eight tracks evoke a preoccupation with tone and timbre extensions rather than concentrating on raw intensity.

Free Improvisation
Free improvisation or free music is improvised music without any general rules, instead following the intuition of its performers. The term can refer to both a technique—employed by any musician in any genre—and as a recognizable genre of experimental music in its own right. Free improvisation, as a genre of music, developed primarily in the U.K. as well as the U.S. and Europe in the mid to late 1960s, largely as an outgrowth of free jazz and contemporary classical music. Exponents of free improvised music include saxophonists Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, and John Zorn, composer Pauline Oliveros, trombonist George E. Lewis, guitarists Derek Bailey, Henry Kaiser and Fred Frith, bassists Damon Smith and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells and the improvising groups Spontaneous Music Ensemble and AMM. Characteristics In the context of music theory, free improvisation denotes the shift from a focus on harmony and structure to other dimensions of music, su ...
