Rodrigues / Rodrigues / Santos / Drury : eterno retorno

I really like the style of free improvisation adopted by Ernesto (viola) and Guilherme (cello) Rodrigues, the Portuguese father-son duo. On this, they form a quartet with electronician Carlos Santos and percussionist Andrew Drury. Improvisation that draws and retains your attention, its games of interplay and silence weaving a soundworld that has a lot of depth and an extremely flexible timeline. Good work from Drury, whose minute playing mimicks the strokes and scratches of the strings. Santos’ electronics are subtle and tasteful. A demanding but revelatory listen.
