CHANTLER, JOHN & JOHANNES LUND - ANDERSABO (CD)
"An intricate, thrillingly unbridled blast of carefully controlled sonic anarchy, pushing at the perceptual boundaries of conversant sound, Andersabo captures the collision of two sympathetic, but often radically different, creative pursuits - Chantler's subtle complexity, composing for electronics, modular synthesis, and acoustic instruments, and Lund's full tilt constructions for various saxophones, pointedly defying long standing expectations and syntaxes applied to his chosen instrument - in open dialog with landscape beyond. Recorded during the summer of 2019, while the duo were on a residency in rural Sweden, the LP's three works present a radical rethinking of aural collectivism. Each is a space within which the environment and its many actors - the floorboards of a barn, a grassy field, distant hills, insects, the pulse of an electric fence, or a passing tractor, threaded with the tones and responses of Lund's saxophone and Chantler's pump organ and synth - are given equal presence and voice. An unpredictable bridge between acoustic and electronic composition and field recording, Andersabo offers a remarkable image of the rewards found through friendship, community, and uninhibited experimentation."
