Hauts Plateaux “Two players. Two instruments. Should be an easy-to-hear equation. But this music grows exponentially, and rather elusively, as it strives for Hauts Plateaux. Each new cluster of sounds from saxophone and violin finds a common foothold for a brief spell, as if to catch its breath, then presses onward and upward to where the atmosphere thins and the familiar becomes something strange, unexpected, transformed.” -- Sam Prestianni 4 tracks in 55:41 minutes.
