Andrew Cyrille, Elliott Sharp and Richard Teitelbaum - Evocation (2022) [Hi-Res]

Master percussionist Andrew Cyrille, guitarist and editor Elliott Sharp, and electronic music pioneer, composer and performer Richard Teitelbaum, improvised this music on October 13, 2011 at Roulette Intermedia's first season in Brooklyn after more than two decades in Lower Manhattan

Now, 10 years later, Richard Teitelbaum has passed away, leaving Cyrille and Sharp as the only two remaining members of this trio. This recording documents how Cyrille, Sharp and Teitelbaum use their instrumental skills and aesthetic sensibilities to act, feel, think and react in the present moment

Teitelbaum played a mixed setup with piano, sampler, and computer, receiving a signal from both Cyrille's drums and Sharp's guitar. Sharp used a number of extended techniques and various objects to excite the strings, as well as an electronic bow and extended techniques on the bass clarinet, including circular breathing, singing into the horn, and using the keys like an electronic filter

Cyrille's drumming has always been both powerful and demonstrative, subtle and curious, or emphatically interactive - whatever the situation calls for

All three artists showcase their best work as individuals and as a trio on this recording. This album is the first in a series of releases on Infrequent Seams documenting recordings of live performances that took place as part of Thomas Buckner's Interpretations concert series.
