Quietude is the name of the game with pianist Ayumi Tanaka and her team of bassist Christian Meaas Svendsen and drummer Per Oddvar Johansen on this collection of originals. The music is so subliminal and spacious on piece like “Ruins” or the somber “Subaqueous Silence” that you have to wonder of ECM studios was charging Tanaka and company per note. Scratchy bows and hornlike moans create tensile moments in “Black Rain” and the rhythm team creates mumps dots as Tanaka adds suggestions more than notes on “Zephyr” and sparkles alongside Meaas’ dashes on “Ichi”. Beyond ambience towards subliminal.
