Irrefragable Dreams
   Robert Dick (flutes)
   Mari Kimura (violin)

From the quintessential contemporary new music flute player working today, Irrefragable Dreams is a testimony to the intensely knit music that two masters of extended improvisation can weave.  Comes with our highest recommendation.

“Abstraction as a term for staking out a category has its uses -- I'd be lost without it -- yet it's far from adequately descriptive. Flutist Robert Dick and violinist Mari Kimura participate as a duo and once each as soloists in ten tracks of music remarkable on several counts: for the brilliance of either player's "extended technique," for the ingenuity of their collaborations and solo turns, but most of all, for the unanticipated pleasures of a charming outcome.  For all its technical derring-do, this is gentle, loving music. But don't infer sentimentality. Abstraction sees to the absence of that.  Contemplative rather in an idiom so seemingly unpremeditated as to dwell on thin ice, but always successfully. Nobody drowns or even gets damp.” – Mike Silverton, La Folia

"Murmuring, trembling, stopping and smelling the perfume, then all the sudden with sharp noise from the throat, splitting up the sky... then silence and shrinking... sounds appear again in a far away place. Here, the fingers slipping on the string and the fingers tapping on the keys are united as if reflections in a mirror. Restlessly running around, switching roles, as if stealing the shadow of their twin half. Before the paint is dry, the brush is carried on to the next stroke; the sound is always evolving and transforming, keeping the twin form ambiguous. The birds singing, the clouds flowing, the metamorphosis continues forever. This game doesn't make one feel one's bodily weight; this playful duo is the antithesis of the 'duo' in its combative meaning." – Kei-ichi Fukushima, Jazz Review
