Christopher Hale: Ritual Diamonds

Playing bass guitar, baritone guitar, acoustic and electric guitars and some percussion, Christopher Hale mixes loose electronic ideas together with Woo Minyoung/perc, Jamie Oehlers/ts-ss, Andrea Keller/key, Theo Carbo/g, Simon Barker/dr, Chloe Kim/perc and Nadje Noordhuuis/tp. There’s a dark and drawn out percussive jam on the closing ”Ritual Diamonds” with some tribal drumming and sweet keyboards on the soulful “Minor Diamonds”. Gentler guitar forms flows through synthy sounds on ”Topollilm Sketches” and the more plugged in “Chul Ch’ae”. The bottom land is reached on a lyrical “Radio Mori” and soft keyboards percolate for the wafting “Flamenco”. Thin outlines over a rumbling undercurrent.
