SvD (5 of 6)
"You could split free jazz into two categories: the one which you hear and then forget, and the one that continues to haunt you after listening. As what the latter takes is notoriously difficult to describe, a kind of identity. Bass clarinettist Stefan Wistrand and pianist Joakim Simonsson's second duo album has just that. The improvised interplay is looking up in a completely free (although not infrequently tonal) tonality - but is never reserved, inaccessible. The themes are emerging but not fragmented, at times abstract, but always stringent. With small means, and a choosy acoustic sound that is sometimes distorted by various effects, the duo creates something as rare as a real form conscious moment works."

About Two Sounds Ensemble:

Two Sounds Ensemble came into existence around autumn 2002 with the idea of playing jazz standards, but from the first sprung notes all tunes were laid aside in favour of pure improvisation. Since then the duo has followed their chosen path and always begun in the unmade and concluded in the unfinished. A figuring out of the music by Two Sounds Ensemble yields lines leading to jazz and free improvisation, while other timbres give way to a near neo-classical reference, all melted together in the final mix.

"Found You Recordings has in short time become a company to reckon with. The small but exciting catalogue is expanded here with the CD Fictions by the duo Two Sounds Ensemble - Stefan Wistrand bass clarinet and Joakim Simonsson piano. The CD is one of this Spring’s real peaks! Two Sounds Ensemble plays unobtrusive improvisational music with features of modern classical music. I believe it is the quiet intensity and the highly developed interaction that makes the ...
