They definitely play “outside” a lot, but what I appreciate here is that it’s often difficult to tell what is composed and what is improvised. Quebrada has done an excellent job, at times approaching a sophisticated chamber music sound and at others harsh avant-noise.
At first, it may seem that the playing here is somewhat aimless in the way that avant-garde music … Read more
