Far East High & Low

A thirty-eight minute centerpiece composed with periphrastic trills of echoing Ayler-esque flutters and impressionistic smears of emulsive electronic and woodwind feedback assures Stone Free a lofty setting among the "hieroglyphic silent painters" whom he admires.

A heptad of harmolodic haiku penned for guest hieroglyphicist Midori's sketchy flickers of saxophone, disseminated through Stone Free's ether of sibilant rushes and rumors, and an introductory miniature solo of circular ciphers and a soupçon of hiphop electronics (reminiscent of Stone Free's earlier 'Black Lights Jazz' album), round out a mesmerizing set.
