专辑简介
The Draperies improvise with no set program, no expressed strategies, but not exactly freely. There's a real sense of shared responsibility here to make music for a listener to listen to (not for the players to play or the players to listen to; at least not until they're done playing). There's a lot of music here: noise and pitch; high and low; short and long; thin (like a razor or a wisp of smoke from a blown out candle) and thick (like a pig-foot stew or a magic marker); not much fast and slow; all manner of attacks; lots of dynamics (but not too much loud and soft). This is music with intensities that is utterly not about intensity. The Draperies' music sounds nothing like folk music; but it feels like folk music.
“The Draperies’, L’histoire du chapeau, floats mysteriously, an ambient wave of incidental electronic and acoustic sounds, both deeply resonant and fundamentally mysterious. At times the three musicians seem to occupy quite separate worlds and yet they’re fully, if slowly, responsive to one another’s distinct impulses. Rather than courting atonality, they develop a wonderous polytonality, each member pursuing his own melodic impulses. Driver’s thumb-reeds impart the ancient familiarity of pump organ or harmonium and the wandering pitches of trombone and guitar suggest the broad dilation of time.”
