In Awe of Stillness
Time Is A Blind Guide brings a rare acoustic alchemy to bear. Personnel changes have shaped and influenced the musical character of Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen's ensemble. On the group's third recording, we once again experience a slight change in the line-up, as Leo Svensson Sander replaces Lucy Railton on cello. The new voice blends seamlessly into the calmly breathing ensemble sound, with pianist Ayumi Tanaka navigating the keyboard sparingly but extremely precisely and sensitively, responding to Strønen's percussive layering, Ole Morten Vågan's elastic double bass work and Håkon Aase's lyrical violin playing. Sometimes the group's three string instruments form a tight trio that enters into a thoughtful dialog with piano and percussion. Mostly, however, the pulse of the group works as a whole, with each instrument dynamically moving in and out of the foreground, captured in the familiar acoustics of Rainbow Studio.
