Free form label Leo Records has just released its latest cache of intuitive tones. Hang on tight!
Singing with sounds of Anatolia, Saadet Turkoz temas with Nils Wogram on trombone and melodica for a mix of folk and free. Wogram puffs through the languid “Paper” whle Turkoz chats on “Rain” gives eerie tones on “Way” and goes falsetto with Wogram’s wah wahs 
on “Umay”. Lots of trombone effects, vocal exercises and hints of songs in the key of Asia minor.
Solo guitar (mostly) by Andrea Massaria mixes strings and electronic effects for nine originalst. Some songs sound like heat radiating as on “PO 3” while his guitar gives keyboard concepts for “”RA 2”. Francesco Forges 
speaks syllables on “RA 3” while you get more noodles than a soup kitchen on “RO 2” and the robotic “RA 1”. Are we not men?
Duets by alto saxist Michael Attias and pianist Simon Nabatov create sonc conversations, as Nabatov picks some strings on the strident “Glances”, creates a pulse for Attias’ long tones on the eerie “Gowanus By Night” and does some scrambling bop on “Languid/The Spinning Song”. Buzzing reeds and pretty tones stretch out on the misty “Glimpses and Tangles” and the two get percussive on “Poetic Bug Bite”. Free form frolics.
When instruments listed for Jacek Chmile are “objects and electronics” that team up with Lara SuB’s voice, you know you’re in for some experimentation. Spitting, rasping and fizzing takes up “That’s the Nice Thing About Things” with a heating element giving off some sort of sound, while mouthwash is slushed on “And I Wasn’t Even Invited”. Is that Tarzan I hear ughing along in “Admiration is For Poets and Cows”? Who brought the crank to start up “They Are Playing Our Tune”? Sounds from a garage sale.
You might not believer it, but pianist John Wolf Brennan goes solo with a wide variety of keyboards and consistently makes melodies of his own while creatively interpreting the works of other artists. It works real well, as Brennan goes lively on Pat Metheny’s “Tell Her You Saw Her” and gives a saloonish read of Tom Waits’ “Tango”. Vocalist Anna Murphy gives a rich interpretation of The Beatles’ “For No One” and a folksy “Siren’s Song” by John Taylor. Creativity plus!
