The Aspelin/Looney/Smith/Walter group was originally
put together to explore the sonic possibilities
associated with electronic/amplified instruments and
intense percussion played at fast tempos and high
volume levels. However, after the first few notes were
played together as a unit, the group immediately
showed a readiness and determination to examine
texture, rhythm, and melody across dynamic and tempo
ranges. The result is a unique sound that puts a fresh
perspective on the traditional piano/guitar/bass/drums
quartet, touching on elements of improvisation’s past
while keeping the sound squarely footed in the wealth
of possibilities available today.
