BAKER MARSHALL DUO
Chiaroscuro
Recorded at
the Music Gallery in Toronto in 2000, renowned ultra-improv duo
Thomas Baker and Kye Marshall penetrate silence and normality with
seemingly subdued yet powerful tinkles of musical notes.
Marshall also has functioned as a music psychotherapist, using the
listening of music as a tool for transcending the mind and the
resolution of mental issues. It is amazing that this
avant-garde music is completely improvised, as the feel seems
structured. Multiple listens provide different experiences,
from relaxing to obscure jazz to pleasing classical enthusiasts,
and is for those who like their music indefinable and open for
interpretation. (Baker Marshall Duo/Fusion III)
