Something of a meditative flow that feels more important than whatever he is playing at a given moment. Occasional monolithic phrases and delicate shaping of feedback sculpt time.

The mallet percussionist and improviser's solo debut is flush with nostalgic melodies and stirring dissonances—a rich, experimental universe well worth exploring.

At first blush this is darker than I normally gravitate to, yet I quickly found it not only compelling, but, ultimately (and strangely satisfyingly) very relatable. Hard/metal moments here never feel gratuitous, they serve each song's context. And the more melodic passages provide ample relief, creating a sort of enforced fugue state for contemplative balance. Like some of my favorite heavy bands from the classic era (Iron Butterfly, Cream) there is both sludge and beauty to be had here. 🤘🪨
