This time Sublingual Records brings us this music made by immigrant musicians who live in Amsterdam and who have string instruments as their main instruments. The music here is completely improvisational and spontaneous. This are 24 tracks of pure experimentations with all this great musicians playing what they feel and what comes to their heads without losing coherence among them . Here you have strange combinations of string instruments doing some conventional and unconventional phrases and surprising on each track. All the tracks here have their own identity being all of them completely different one from another . It is like having different bricks (for example with different colours ) to construct a building (in this case the building would have been this album). This is an album recommended for you, the one who is not afraid of trying something new. Favorite tracks: "Strip", "Straps" and "Strangle´em". Contact: www.sublingual.com
