An open, globally oriented album that congenially unites the moment and the eternity. A sound that penetrates deep into the earth and suddenly returns from the center of gravity to the surface – often exactly where it is least suspected. A sound that no one has come up with, but that is as old as the creation itself and has been waiting for its medium to manifest itself. A sound that is suddenly there, hypnotic, compelling, vehement and indispensable. Actually, there are four tones, but the individual timbres of bassist Phil Donkin, alto saxophonist Wanja Slavin, bass clarinetist Joris Roelofs and drummer Martin France merge with such force to a symbiotic unity that the word ensemble in the traditional sense with considerable blurring is afflicted.
