YAR by Vicki Ray and Scot Ray
Vicki Ray: piano, prepared piano, stylophone, voice, Andes25
Scot Ray: lap steel guitar, electronics, live-looping
"...truly a delicious sonic experience. It delights with improvisational constructions, austere sonic fields that define their own territories, by way of harmonic language, timbral depth, and instrumental content." - Elliott Goldkind, New Classic LA
"It's an album of texture: knocked wooden surfaces, jangles of slack string and trapped object, rolled tongues and rasps of exhalation...striking a balance between material impact and levitating resonance..." - Jack Chuter, ATTN:Magazine UK
"...a winding road across various states of suspension...characterized by intoxicating scents, quasi-ironic grimaces and unpolluted poetry...where the alteration of the original voices moves the textural gravity into a sort of lunar psychedelia." - Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
