Recording a duet with Derek Bailey in 2005, the pianist Augusti Fernandez was drawn into stark stillness by the British guitarist’s meditative mood. The American improviser Joe Morris displays a more obviously kinetic approach.
His fingers tumble around the frets of a bubbling acoustic guitar, the strings skewered and scratched, provoking liquid right hand cascades and left hand bee sting stabs from his collaborator.
Morris forces ongoing flurries of possibilities, and leaves implicit trajectories resolutely unresolved, even as the young Spaniard provokes him from beneath the lid with scraped piano wire, and hangs vast fluttering sheets of notes out to dry.
