Two stringed instruments, three bows, no waiting, could be the
motto for this disc. For the dusky, atmospheric sounds that
arise from this session are partially created by Frances-Marie
Uitti's unique technique. Using two bows, the New Music
luminary is able to create so many voices that the overall
effect is of an entire string section playing, rather than just
the bass and cello. Not that New York downtowner Mark Dresser
is left behind either. Multi-stylistic, with a thorough
grounding in both so-called "serious" music as well as jazz, he
can get almost as many resonant effects out of his instrument
with just bows and fingers as Uitti produces with her double
bows. Uitti has used her approach for years to interpret work
by such modern composers as John Cage, Iannis Xenakis and
Elliott Carter. But considering that all the music is copyright
by the two, it would appear that Dresser's improv chops honed
with the likes of Anthony Braxton, Mark Helias and Robert Dick
transport her that much further into innovation. All and all,
though, the most successful union comes on tracks like
"Montebell," when the built up tension and slow release creates
uncommon textures. Obviously, the CD has an overriding appeal
for adventurous string fanciers.
