“This music is a triumphant tour-de-force presented in organic structural configurations, using multiple modes of interaction. It plays like an epic piece of continuous invention that can be enjoyed with focused attention or as an expansive atmosphere. Domen Cizej who was born in Slovenia in 1996 has a mastery that is ultra-contemporary. He and his colleagues present a perfect inaudible blend of composition and improvisation. They perform with impeccable, rigorous precision and expressive control of density and sustain, using silence to generate energy, making music that evokes both the wind blowing through the forest, and the indecipherable chatter of a crowd of people. Much of it is rendered in speech-cadence-like phrases in particles of every duration, done with a profound degree of unpredictability. Every piece employs a seemingly unlimited variation of tone, frequency, pitch, and dynamics to make richly melodic music that also consistently highlights the beauty of pure sound.
This grand recording erases competing issues of history, influence, and methodology in today's improvised music culture by combining them seamlessly, thereby alleviating the listener of the burden of obsolete analysis. Instead it offers new music that entices them to enjoy the surprise and pleasure of deciphering an exciting sonic puzzle.”
