about

FROM THE LINER NOTES by Barry Guy

SYLLOGISTIC MOMENTS

(deductive reasoning) Syllogism : a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn from two given or assumed propositions.

Peter Evans and I have occasionally met in larger ensembles for special projects. This particular concert in Uster (Switzerland) within the PAM festival on 18. November 2016, allowed us to delve into the minutiae of duo performance where intense listening and decoding of intentions kept our minds and bodies in high alert. This occasion had us playing somewhat athletically, pushing and pulling ideas around, and to be honest, we both felt exhausted after the concert but also exhilarated. The joys of improvisation I guess…. and high speed communication.

Despite the active interchange, there are slow moments of introspection to calm the soul, where unusual colours emerge - resonances perhaps of Robert Lax’s concrete poems (they gave us the idea for the titles) that avoid metaphor and imagery - just the face value which each listener is free to ruminate upon. The colour titles are suggestive of stepping stones aiding contemplation – or leading us to the gym !

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey

supported by 24 fans who also own “Syllogistic Moments”

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
