Crepuscular moods are created by leader Phillip Dornbusch, who plays tenor sax and clarinets with a team of Johanna Summer/p, Johannes Mann/g, Roger Kintopf/b Philip Dornusch/dr and a couple guest vocalists. On tenor sax, Dornbusch has an elliptical sound and delivery akin to Warne Marsh, puffy and prismatic around Mann on “Constant Vacillation” and tangential with Summer during “Doubts” , with the team ambient on “Outro”. The bass clarinet is gentle and fluffy with Summer on the flowing “Interlude” and with L ina Knoerr’s wordless vocals, things get reflective and ethereal during “Anthem”.
Things get playful and bouncy between Kintopf and drummer Dronbursch on “Good Faith” and rocking as Mann adds guitar shadows for “Inescapable Network of Mutuality”, as things get creative on a mix of abstraction and rap with vocalist JuJu Rogers on “In Art We Trust”. Charcoal sketches of sound.
