The second album from Miller, Vidiksis, and Wells marks a deeper, more reflective phase in the trio's journey through the realm of telematic free music. While their debut album resonated with dynamic rhythms and energetic textures, this new collection shifts focus, embracing a darker contemplative ambiance that is rich in depth and nuance. Despite this change in tone, an undercurrent of tension remains, lending a compelling complexity to their soundscapes.
