Details:
Song Fwaa (from the French sangfroid; literally cold blood, colloquially coolness under pressure).
Original, unusual and conversational music from three of Australia’s finest improvisors; Martin Kay on alto sax (Fantastic Terrific Munkle/Continuum Sax/SSO), David Reaston on guitar (leader of the Ten Guitar Project), and Jamie Cameron on drums (20th Century Dog/Luke Escombe/Amphibious/Tim Stocker/Adam Ponting). Melodies, sometimes pretty, sometimes catchy, and occasionally abstract and angular, collide with improvisations chattering and emoting, propelling the listener on an exciting express. A fascination for texture and unusual tunings and forms led to a consensus to improvise and compose as a chamber ensemble. Song Fwaa views music as an open vessel into which ideas are dropped and stewed. One is as likely to encounter a ragged ragtime or a postbop scronk as much as a munted groove or a dodecaphonic row. Transcending the trio’s eclectic curiosity and its diverse stylistic range, Song Fwaa demonstrates a unity of purpose: creating passionate music that resonates in both mind and body.
* Mugwump (Martin Kay) has a Morroccan desert feel with shimmering guitars, yearning saxophone overtones and scrapes and rattles from the drums. Dedicated to William Burrough’s fascinating creatures who sated their customers’ every desire.
* Teacakes Often Fry (David Reaston) is in the form of a musical mirror, cracked in the middle by a group improvisation.
* Ligeti’s Goat (Martin Kay) is in three sections. The first, Goatweed, is based on a 7:4:3 groove. The second, Digesting Carrots, features improvised guitar battering against a structure constructed from a Messiaen tone row. The third, How Did I Get Here and Where’s the # Kitchen?, morphs the tone row into reggae for a saxophone improvisation.
* Tacet Suite (David Reaston) is based on silence with the silence maintaining a flow.
* Motility (Martin Kay): having the power to move spontaneously
