about

Liner notes by Samo Salamon:

"Asaf has been one of my favorite players for years, an incredible drummer and fantastic composer as well. We've been discussing with Asaf for some time about doing something together and well, yes, here it is. I wanted to challenge myself for this project, especially for composing music, so we reversed the process. Asaf had initially recorded around 30 minutes of drum improvisations, which represented the basis for my compositions. I could then write melodies, solo parts, chord changes, etc, which was fantastic for me to compose in a different way. Hope you enjoy this one, I love it!"

All compositions by Samo Salamon, based on drum improvisations by Asaf Sirkis.

Recorded in May 2022. Mixed and mastered by Samo Šalamon.

REVIEWS:

"Samo Salamon is hyperactive. What's more, he never lacks imagination and likes to change partners. This time in duo with Israeli drummer Asaf Sirkis, he invents another hybrid musical form in which he enjoys changing the color of the instruments he uses." (CITIZEN JAZZ, Yves Dorison, France)

"...Salamon running smoothly and performing acrobatic figures to Sirkis' knitting needle beat...y ou could write a diploma thesis about these complex 4 ¾ minutes!" (BAD ALCHEMY, Rigobert Dittmann, Germany)

"The Slovenian ace of jazz guitar improvisation has successfully connected with the Israeli drummer Asaf Sirkis." (ROCKLINE, Aleš Podbrežnik, Slovenia)

"This unique work exceeds and includes all genres - jazz, jazz fusion, avantgarde jazz, free jazz, jazz drums, jazz guitar, jazz improvisation, modern jazz. Samo and Asaf were not burdened by any limits or trends... this is a work of true musical value, standing out from the mass production of jazz releases." (BARIKADA, Dragutin Matosevic, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
