Boomkat Product Review:

Written and produced by Sam Shackleton and Waclaw Zimpel. Electronics, sequencing, and programming by Sam Shackleton. Alto clarinet, violin, harmonium, e-piano, organ, frame drum, percussions, lira, and monochord by Waclaw Zimpel

"Sam Shackleton, returning to Cosmo Rhythmatic after his outing on the label as Tunes of Negation, and Polish clarinetist/multi-instrumentalist Wacław Zimpel have joined forces for this debut collaborative release.

Both artists boast a track record of successful collaborative projects, the two have united after being introduced by mutual friends, in wake of a shared interest in minimalism and a broad set of influences rooted in different musical traditions. Joining Zimpel’s demanding multi-layered experience in avantgarde jazz with Shackleton’s mathematical, esoteric lyricism, the pair have used all the tools at their disposal, aiming at a new form of ritual trance music. This fierce fusion of styles brings out the very best in each other, showing unique clarity and force."

stream on bandcamp

Yes, immense work. Playing loud right now!

Nice.. not listened yet but it involves Shackleton so know am going to love it!

Fuck this is really good! 

Btw as much as normaly prefer to use bandcamp when poss if anyone is after the digital it is a bargin on bleep! They have priced it like a 3 track ep when it's clearly an album in 3 parts.. but not complaining! ☺

.. continuing his stellar run of collaborations.

This time the absence of singing and subdued use of wind instruments lends a film noir-ish quality to the usual nag champa infused hand drum excursions. Three thumbs up.

this is excellent, this guy just doesn't dissapoint. will buy the digitals on my next paycheck

I love Shackleton. Can't wait to check this out.

Wow! Love this.

Listening now and digggggggggggggggging hard on this. Totally feeling this viiiiiiiiiibe.
