review by Peter Margasak

the other side of the air is the first recording that Jeff Kimmel and I made following a year of working on a practice together. In the performances and sessions we played in the year prior, we focused on developing a language of intonation which remained ungrounded in a single system, but emphasized the vibrancy and dynamism of close-interval sonorities through retuning my organ and through various clarinet multiphonics.

Peter Margasak had to say about this release: “Those harmonic feasts are addictive, pulling me into the sound and allowing my mind to get lost in those cascading, undulating tones. Sounds align, unleashing the infectious sweep of beating patterns, and clear intonation becomes sour with the incursion of the slightest pitch adjustment.” (Nowhere Street)
