David Grubbs (harmonium, reed organ); Mats Gustafsson (flute, saxophone, fluteophone)
Includes liner notes by David Grubbs.
The Wire (9/99, p.49) - "...features two 'long' pieces in which the drone is king, and both players focus on or around a single tone with only marginal swells in dynamics and shifts in texture....a vaguely Oriental ambience...". Alternative Press (12/99, p.98) - 4 out of 5 - "...a majestic sound, Gustafsson plays fluteophone...and tenor sax while Grubbs deploys a harmonium....If you possess a soul, APERTURA will stir it to a shivering ecstasy."
David Grubbs first recorded with teenaged Louisville punks Squirrel Bait and came to prominence exploring the intersections of pop, art, and rock music with Gastr Del Sol. Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson has toured the U.S. with MacArthur Award-winning jazz man Ken Vandermark and Dutch sound poet Jaap Blonk. The fact that this duet recording combines two rarely joined genres, minimalism and free improvisation, isn't as surprising as the finely etched beauty of its performances. The 65-minute-long CD is divided into two parts. For each Gustafsson plays tenor saxophone and fluteophone (an instrument that he invented by jamming an alto saxophone's mouthpiece into a flute), using circular breathing to blow seemingly endless microtonal sound streams over the undulating drones that Grubbs squeezes from his harmonium (an archaic hand-pumped reed organ). Both pieces proceed so slowly that one's ears inevitably become attuned to minute variations of pitch; once that occurs, it's impossible to avoid being hypnotized by the music's glacial evolution.
