Tim Motzer - Beacon (1k066)

"An immediate favorite of my recent solo shows, this recording is quite beautiful, and the night itself was so on! Lovely listening appreciative folks there at Quinn’s allowed this expansive solo set to unfold.
I'm improvising with 6 & 12 string acoustic electrics, baritone electric, bow, semi-modular, sequencer, percussion, & electronics for this special night. I thank everyone who came out to this show, some traveled far. So appreciated! I hope you will enjoy this recording as much as I do." - tim

(Blade Of) Carlstedt Motzer Torn (1k064)

The debut of this fully improvisational trio (Blade Of) features David Torn, Tim Motzer & Jeremy Carlstedt. Their new release, the flowering am, is the mark of their first meeting: a deep dive into spherical sonic & musical territories. The three atmospheric yet raw explorers, with two guitars, drums & electronics, create a density of sound that may approach the orchestral, with Torn’s abstractly romantic textures & overtones floating, spinning through the sprawling suite. Carlstedt’s drumming can just flip the band’s current equation; he creates exquisite firestorms, dynamic nuance and propels the music forward, and inward. Motzer, with his acoustic-electric guitar, shapeshifts throughout as sometimes bassist, soloist and re-arranger exploring the edges, curves, and corners in these astonishing journeys. 

“Collectively, Torn, Motzer, and Carlstedt create a cinema of the interior in which the attentive listener is enclosed. Narratives twist back in on themselves in an instant, spiking into unseen spaces. Their soundtrack is as loud as mountain thunder, as quick as a precious thought through thin air.” Sid Smith
