Prepared piano, percussion and prepared guitar combine to
formulate an impulse-based meta-instrument on this startling
debut from Melbourne trio Pateras/Baxter/Brown. Consisting of
composer/pianist Anthony Pateras, percussionist Sean Baxter and
electroacustic composer/guitarist David Brown, Ataxia (meaning
the loss of muscluar co-ordination) explores a distinctive
sound world where timbres rebound and melt within an elastic
performative framework. Dynamically oscillating between
delicacy & brutality, Ataxia contains everthing from textural
assault to contemplative explorations of space. On
\\\"Bulbous\\\", the trio create a constant, jerky stream of
barely recognisable sounds. In St Chi, silence is sliced by
explosive microsonic gestures, eventually creating an acoustic
mutant licking at the speaker cones. On the closing track
Hexadactlyly, the listeners face is slammed against the piano
strings, thrown into percussive chaos before sinking back into
an ambiguous oubliette of spacial dialogue.
