The team of Arkady Shilkloper on various horns and voice, Florian Mayer on violin and voice, John Wolf Brennan on various pianos and voice, Tom Gotze on bass and voice and yodeller Sonja Mogenegg put together 12 studio tracks and one concert tune on this wide range of sounds and effects. The strings range from parlor rich as on 
“Hronborn Hymn” to scratches on “Ridge Wlk” Vocal choruses on “Hol-di-o-U-ri!” and rustling during “Urwuchs” joins in with various horn wheezes and experiments with mouthpieces. Lots of voices zipping in and out, spontaneous combustions and things that go bump in the night.
The second Pago Libre album includes Agnes Heginger, Tscho Theissing, Arkady Shilkloper, John Wolf Brennan, Georg Breinschmid and Patrice Heral on various things lie ratchets, pizzicato-piano, alphorn, drums, violins and a myriad of voices. The 24 songs include a winding clock on “Etanosru Eutonars”, bass and voice on “Wokenpumpentango”, abstract opera chants on “SinnDong” and you feel like you’re dropping in on a conversation on the nonsensical “PlatzDADA!!””. A traffic jam of tones.
Stefano Leonardi plays flute, piccolo and various exotic sorts, Marco Colonna blows through a clarinet, bass clarinet and sopranino sax, Antonio Bertoni strums the cello and guembri, Fridolin Blumer hits the bass and Weinz Geisser performs on waterphone and percussion on ten improvisaitons. Glassy sounds on “Whirlwind” and “Sand Shapes” make for tender tinkles, the a rumbling bass clarinet on “Astral Garden” and reedy “Requiem” feeling like you’re walking barefoot in thick mud. Gurgles and voices abound on “Clay” and high pitched woodwinds abound on “Threads”. Are your dogs ears picking anything up?
Baldo Martinz plays double bass, Luica Martinez is on drums with toys and Juan Saiz blows through flutes, piccolo, tenor and soprano saxes for nine improvisations. The winds whirrl on ”Elwha” and Saiz experiments with mouthpieces and reeds during “Responso” and while his tenor is kinetic on the post bopper “X”. Echoe flutes follow a rambling bass on ”Saku” and the soprano sax sighs on the stop start of bass and drums on “Freaks”. Loose bows get untied on “Nena” and percussive scratches reach for an itch on “Nana”. Sounds and effects.
Sergio Armaroli is on the vibes, mixing and matching with Harri Sjostrom on soprano and sopranino saxes and trombonist Giancarlo Schiaffini for eight duets and four duets. The duets are between Armaroli and Sjostrom, with kinetic works on “Duet Eight” and “Duet Seven” and popping pithes for “Duet Two“ and “Duet Five”. The trio format has the three create Monkish right angles on “Trio Two” and some squawks on “Trio Three” while the team loosely unravels on “Trio One”. Fluid flowings.
