Michael Vorfeld - percussion, stringed instruments

Chris Heenan - contrabass clarinet

 

First ever release by the duo of german multi-percussionist Michael Vorfeld and american contrabass clarinet player Chris Heenan. Slowly evolving acoustic soundscapes with unique attention to detail and texture and an absolute control of pacing and dynamics. The music of both musicians seems to pair in perfection creating a non-centered soundworld where the listener can immerse, but only to be shaken by surprising turns and decisions.

Vorfeld and Heenan will be presenting this disc in a US tour starting early November and will visit New York, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia among other cities.

Wonderfully recorded in studio in Berlin, this edition comes in a gatefold cardboard case with original hand-screened artwork

Limited to 250 copies.
