Trio dealing in abstract, largely improvised spaces: a guitar, a trumpet, and a bassoon.

Slow overall, with a sparse chamber-music feel, sometimes interrupted by jagged guitar histrionics. Lots of untethered improvising (but several tracks are rooted in compositions).

1- Disjoint, unsettling start; shifts to long horn tones with jumbly guitar.
2- Slow wash
3- Grumpy guitar. Sparse
4- Slowly florid (like the title implies) ... sparse, pretty chamber themes
5- Perky jumble, fairly fast
6- Soft, with catchy riff
7- Disjoint flutterings
8- Creeping
9- Grumbly guitar; more dense/loud than #3
10- Forceful. Lots of sci-fi effects and samples (Asian woman speaking, e.g.) ... ends loud.
