Extending the range of his widely-praised Trio Libero project with Michel Benita and Seb Rochford, Andy Sheppard adds Eivind Aarset (who made significant contributions to 2008’s Movements In Colour) to the band. With Aarset’s ambient drones and electronic textures as a backdrop, Sheppard and co seem to have even more space to explore. The music embraced includes new compositions, open improvisations, an Elvis Costello tune, and the Gaelic traditional ballad “Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir” which appears in three variations, a thematic thread through the album. Personnel: Andy Sheppard: tenor and soprano saxophones Eivind Aarset: guitar Michel Benita: double bass Sebastian Rochford: drums tracklist: 01 - Tipping Point 02 - I Want To Vanish 03 - Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir (Part 1) 04 - Origin Of Species 05 - They Aren't Perfect And Neither Am I 06 - Medication 07 - Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir (Part 2) 08 - The Impossibility Of Silence 09 - I See Your Eyes Before Me 10 - A Letter 11 - Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir (Part 3) 12 - Looking For Ornette
