Delicate Sen

as of April 2011 this release is officially out of print. I still have a few copies available, if you are interested please contact me directly.

I’m happy to officially promote the Delicate Sen CD-R on Copy For Your Records. We were selling this disc on tour and I’m just catching up with lots of things like this. A great, restrained and sensitive improvisation by our trio, recorded in Brooklyn back in March.

Brian Olewnick just posted a review:

This is just a really good, varied and strong live set by the trio of Billy Gomberg (synthesizer), Anne Guthrie (french horn) and Richard Kamerman (motors, objects), recorded in March of this year. I think they have a leg up with the delicious instrumental blend here: Kamerman tends toward the harsh and metallic while Gomberg has a refreshing tendency, when I’ve heard him, to linger in tonal byways. Add to this the all too rare, in this music, timbre of the french horn, beautifully deployed here by Guthrie, and you have a delicious prospect from the get-go. And then they construct this utterly captivating performance that wends its way through numerous neighborhoods, each of interest, almost never flagging over its 40 minutes. There’s a point about halfway through where Gomberg adopts an almost church-organ kind of sound opposite Kamerman’s jangling metal that’s fantastic and when Guthrie plants long, burred tones in the midst, transcendent. Fine work.
