about

The Sound Of Waking
•
The human mind reacts to sounds by reaching for memories, pulling them out to help identify what is heard. The beauty of In The Waking Hour is, that our memories frequently fool us. In the midst of listening, you might find yourself asking, “Who is making that sound?” The music here often blends together, leaving the sounds unidentifiable as to their maker. Is it percussion? Is it voice? Is it bass or electronics? Similarly, you may find yourself trying to decide if a sound is acoustic or electric in nature.
•
Joni, Barry, and Michael demonstrate a great degree of empathy for each other, and for each other’s sounds. It’s difficult to imagine that this recording is the first time they ever played together. But they are all seasoned improvisation veterans, having played, and crossed paths at, various monthly events in the Milwaukee music scene. The best music is multi-layered and tends to reveal more upon repeated listening. In The Waking Hour reveals something new each time you play it.

I've never heard anything else like this. I was fortunate to see Simon in Australia last January at MOFO and his playing and ideas are unique. This album blows me away. Check it out! Michael Bettine

Gongs. Big Gongs. Deep Gongs. Powerful Gongs, yet subtle music that reaches your inner core. Beautiful. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen over a good sound system or good headphones! Michael Bettine

I played a duo set with Scott down in Australia at MOFO. This guy can play! I love his sound. You will too! I need to play with him again someday. This album reminds me of the music we made. Buy it!! Michael Bettine
