Erin Rogers & Alec Goldfarb - Earth's Precisions (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Earth’s Precisions crafts a musical surface that simulates both a larger ensemble and a single, hybrid instrument. At times, the composite of guitar and saxophone is pushed to extremes, as each of the five co-composed pieces explore the impossible polyphony of an expansive terrain, speaking in tongues. The duo shares an expressive vocality and an approach to construction that is both elemental and ritualistic, while at other times haunting and ethereal, permeated by a dose of horror. Inspired by the lineage of guitar/saxophone duos — from Fred Frith and Anthony Braxton to Tim Berne and Bill Frisell — Earth’s Precisions expands on this tradition, at once confounding the sounds of their instruments past recognition and returning them to a seemingly nascent state.

Tracklist:
01. from a cobwebbed heap
02. dim in the gulfs (beyond earth’s precisions)
03. nothing but a voice that laughed, blankly
04. no human tread before
05. these strange ecstasies and starlit time
