"Wastell might be a little bit known from his various releases
with improvisation masters Taku Sugimoto, Toshimaru Nakamura
and Tetuzi Akiyama (see Vital Weekly 358), but here he teams
up with one Graham Halliwell. He plays 'feedback saxophone',
and Wastell is responsible for 'amplified textures'. Together
they play four tracks of highly controlled music, in which
feedback plays a certain role, but it's all under control:
there is no sudden outburst of noise. Beneath we hear the
scraping of various amplified textures (I reckon' these be
carpets, cloths and other hard to amplify objects), which only
become audible if you turn up the volume (in which case you
also amplify the feedback more). A nicely put forward
microscopic atmosphere hoovers in these pieces. Controlled and
good. (FdW)
