New #review today: "For the two releases at hand, #JussiReijonen is launching a new solo improvised endeavor called Sayr, very much unlike the work he has done previously. Both are cut from a very similar cloth, what might be called stream of consciousness #FreeImprovisation, something that follows no specific genre." #ExposeOnline #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jussi-reijonen-sayr-salt-thirst-3.html

Ipek Eginli is a Turkish-American experimental sound artist and pianist/improviser whose work involves electroacoustic free improvisation on piano, voice, modular synthesizers, and no-input mixing boards. Eginli’s sound explorations and performances are often described as adventurous, daring, playful, and vibrant, effortlessly shifting between organic and mechanical sounds to evoke a broad range of emotions, from tender and soft to dark and explosive.
James McKain is a saxophonist and library employee from Brooklyn, New York. He is interested in the notion of deconstructing inheritances of the mediums that he works in (broadly speaking: music). This is a contradiction: a passive activity.
Evan Palmer (they/them) is a bassist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator based in Brooklyn. They specialize in improvised music and jazz. Raised in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Palmer moved to Boston in 2018 to attend Berklee College of Music, where they studied with John Lockwood, Francisco Mela, Bob Gullotti, and Linda May Han Oh. They graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor of Music in Bass Performance.
Weasel Walter (first name, last name) is a Brooklyn, New York based multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser best known for leading the seminal punk-jazz/no-wave/brutal-prog band The Flying Luttenbachers between 1991 and 2007 on 16 full-length releases.Seamlessly uniting the intensity and abstraction of improvised music with the nihilist aesthetics of extreme rock forms, Walter is committed to violent momentum, idiomatic unpredictability and rapid articulation.
Local support from Buttars/Ollman/Smith

Apostolis Tziogkidis - PostPrisma
"A raw, unfiltered recording - pure improvisation with all its flaws intact. No edits, no polish, just the moment as it happened."
This morning's #workout #music is from an impressive #duet - Julia Biłat on cello & Dudù Kouate on #drums and noise makers. Very much in the tradition of #MaxRoach and his work with singular musicians.

Apostolis Tziogkidis - Quarter-life Crisis
"This is not music about crisis. It is the crisis, recorded in real time, burning itself out in the dark."
I'm currently on vacation and browsing lists of the best albums of this year. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could share your favorites in the comments, especially those that haven't made it to the popular portals and critics' lists.

Tunes Without Measure Or End by AMM, released in 2001 by Matchless Recordings
"'..a slowly unfolding dreamscape in which the group attenuates both time and space. In this specific performance, Tilbury and Rowe represent very different sonic vocabularies. T delights in the acoustic resonance of a good piano, in the clearly articulated tone or cluster. His sounds hang in the air in a way that seems traditionally beautiful. R's fundamental sounds are abrasive metallic ratchetings, humming feedback, treble-loaded pings and bowed guitar ...And always the presence of his transistor radio, ready to intrude momentarily the outside world in its worst light...a sonic space so large here, so fundamentally clear, that there's room for the two approaches to co-exist, as if Rowe and Tilbury sometimes played at opposite ends of the universe.

13 Definitions Of Truth by Tatsuya Nakatani and Peter Kowald, released on Quakebasket in 2003.
Modern Illusions wrote on their blog:
.. Kowalds droning bass and Nakatani’s tribal percussion makes me think of ancient rituals, lost in time – the kind of open-endedness I enjoy when listening to all this free improv stuff..
The impressive relationship between the two improvisers wonderfully comes across in their synchronised ability to maintain that tension, which is wound tight and strong, before beautifully releasing everything a flurry of dissonant sounds. The approach made me think of a ship adrift in a ferocious sea, creaking, rolling, thrown from side to side – running between cabins attempting to hold on as waves break against the side, flooding the deck until calm – the aftermath – a new dawn, a strange new world, a brave new world...
