about

fracture represents a departure for the men, using additional synths (played live, not over-dubbed) and especially the EWI that lets Tom explore the wide world of software synthesizers.
Rhythmically, this album is one of our most explorational, not random by any means, but each of us dividing up the long pulses in different ways, producing some of our most mind-melting grooves. We are taking our melodic/harmonic weaving to a whole different level.
From the first electric fantasia of “thesis” to the driving conclusion of “metamorphosis” you’ll hear themes and ideas explored and tested and manipulated but never losing their identity; leading to an album-long coherent statement of improvisational thought; three musical minds finding common ground over 25 minutes of inevitable frequencies.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
