Right when you start pondering on the fact "the thrill has gone" something or somebody moves the ground and you find yourself with your ass kissing the floor... well, sometimes it’s a positive experience like in this case. As I think I’ve already said, the risk for a good and above all interesting label like Creative Sources is to pass from producing interesting acoustic/electro-acoustic/impros to get trapped in a sound or in a kind of release that sometimes can become stagnant. I’m glad it’s not happening and if you take the last releases of Punck and this Sei Miguel you can sense something is "moving the ground". Please don’t kill me if I dare to sentence this release embodies one of the many possible interesting evolution of jazz as it would have been in the enlightened minds and in the hearts of people like Davis or Braxton. At the same time this’ an interesting fusion of avant-jazz, electronic and contemporary music that accomplishes the rare result to leave dogmatism and pompousness back home. The pocket trumpet of Sei Miguel though being varied betrays what I think could be a jazzy background and is the first voice of this "chorus" but the final result disappears in the depth of abstraction, that’s why I think contemporary music can be one of the most reliable comparisons for this music. Be it intentional or not, some passages of the first track gave me the idea I was listening to a really expressive trumpeter jamming along with some Morton Feldman "crippled symmetries" and to remain in this contemporary field, let’s mention another hero who used to compose on the edge of both genres like Andrea Centazzo. In "second garden" the general idea of the sound is basically the same, but this time the track begins with an intense dialogue between Miguel and Mariam, the atmosphere is not as cold as in the first episode and "dialogue" keeps on being the keyword (despite some silent passages) for every player involved in this track. "Third garden" ends the cd in a strange way but following along the same thread, during its second half you have the bare impression a rhythm is taking place but it’s just an impression and it’s probably closer to the gentle art of soft, non-intrusive, rumorism. This release is the intense collection of three inspired live set and for those who look for other names, consider Rafael Toral and Cèsar Burago have been in this recordings.
