Abiogenesis A by Christian Asplund

This is a very exciting collaboration with Steven Stallings (drums and art), Erik Larson (bass), and Christian Asplund (piano, harmonium). Recorded completely in Provo's legendary Avant GaRAWge which uses exclusively ribbon mics. Avant Jazz comprovisations to stimulate the ears, mind, body, and soul. Virtuosic drumming, contrabass, and piano/harmonium. Clever, humorous, and profound compositions spanning the decades since the late '80s. Stunning collective and individual improvisations and group dynamics await.
