DAVID TORN - ONLY SKY
David Torn ever-intrepid guitarist, producer, improviser,
film composer and soundscape artist returns with only sky, an album that
explores the far sonic edges of what one man and a guitar can create, a solo
recording of almost orchestral atmosphere. It is Torns first ECM release since
2007s acclaimed prezens, a full-band project, with Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and
Tom Rainey, that Jazzwise described as a vibrating collage full of shimmering
sonic shapes, a dark, urban electronic soundscape a potent mix of jazz,
free-form rock and technology that is both demanding and rewarding. Many of
those same descriptors apply to only sky, with its hovering ambient shadows and
vaulting flashes of light, its channeling of deep country/blues memories and
Burroughsian dreams of North Africa. Recorded in the acoustically apt hall of the Experimental
Media and Performing Arts Center in upstate New York (and then added to and
manipulated in Torns own mad-scientist lair), only sky is an album to get lost
in, over and again. ~ Amazon
