Urs Leimgruber: soprano, tenor and prepared bass saxophones
Adelhard Roidinger: bass on 2, 5 and 8
All compositions by Urs Leimgruber
Recorder in Austria, january 26-28 1990
On the follow up to his amazing Statement of an Antrider, reed
genius Urs Leimgruber chooses to record five more solo
compositions for tenor, soprano, and "prepared" bass
saxophones. Leimgruber is as adventurous as Anthony Braxton is
in his exploration of microtonalities on his chosen
instruments. He careens through different tones, modalities,
nuances, interval; investigations and one would think
meditations on sonority in these exercises. And unlike many of
his peers who claim to seek the same things, there is order in
Leimgruber's world he treats the world of sound as he would any
other recognizable system with respect for its natural order
and origins. Perhaps this is why he is so effective as an
improviser -- his approach to his instrument is to extract from
it a response that is congruent to what he put in. Bass god
Adelhard Roidinger joins Leimgruber on three selections.
Roidinger's a master of his instrumental technique -- whether
he is bowing sonances in response to Leimgruber's long, silvery
soprano lines, or playing counterpoint to his bass saxophone
extrapolations. There are notions of jazz here in both the
American and European uses of the word, and certainly the
improvisation in play comes from Leimgruber's long involvement
with the new music universe that has long struggled to maintain
its unique identity. Both of these facets lend to his original
voice. Judging by this recording, this is an improviser who can
walk the knife's edge of the extreme and the accessible with
ease, and it's easy to hear why: There is no academia in
Leimgruber's approach. His playing comes from somewhere other
than the brain; it comes from the worlds of sound and silence
and the heart of the horns themselves. Bravo. ~ Thom Jurek, All
