Wonderful, lyrical set from bass-clarinetist Yoni Silver, captured at OTO in January this year.
Packing more into under 20 minutes than many manage in twice that time, Silver deftly weaves a breathtaking range of techniques and textures on the instrument, spanning frenetic highs to lows of bracing physicality. From dizzying clusters of notes to multilayered melodicism, ethereal whispers to ragged, splintered breaths, Silver gives a visceral, bodily performance. The result is a restless, mercurial and wholly present solo set that doesn't let the focus slip for even a minute.
