about

“What frightened me was the logic of the world; in it lay the foretaste of something incalculably powerful. Its mechanism was incomprehensible, and I could not possibly remain closeted in that windowless, bone-chilling room. Though outside lay the sea of irrationality, it was far more agreeable to swim in its waters until presently I drowned.”

Glyceride is a new sprawling 52-minute piece from the improvisational force that is Madrid's Hashigakari, steadily active in and outside of western Europe's free improv scene since 2015. Drawing heavily from the reductionist tendencies of the Japanese onkyo movement, small sound events break the silence between long sections of sustained tones and repetitions of oblique patterns.

A pervading sense of alien melancholy is reinforced by the use of samples which transform antiquated approaches to musicality and structure into complex and sometimes alarming motifs. Though dense, Glyceride is marked by an urgency which contrasts the engrossing emptiness of the duo's recordings. Though quiet, its masterful exploration of the stereo field dominates the room.
