The act of conjuring remarkable sound from found objects is at
the very heart of this recording from American musicians Greg
Davis and Jeph Jerman. Having met in Arizona some years back,
Davis and Jerman commenced working together on a series of
recording projects.
Improvising with a range of implements and devices ranging
from sticks, stones and lo-fi electronics to prepared
instruments, gongs and broken percussion, the pair sought to
develop a personal language that reflected their individual
approaches but also created a shared sensibility and aesthetic
quality. Placing their work in a range of environments, most
of which orbit around JermanÆs ranch in Cottonwood, Davis and
Jerman create a richly textured array of sounds from the most
modest of sonic tools.
Each of the works featured here collects together multiple
improvised sessions, which have been edited to create a
flowing sense of movement and space. These tempered
post-concrΘte works resolve a joint interest from these two
musicians in the act of freeform found sound improvisation and
experimentation.
"Jeph is probably one of the most underrated and undertalked
about sound makers around. He is uncompromising,
undifferentiating, present, and a superb listener. I wish more
people were like Jeph Jerman."
