Sculpturing Sound
“To sculpture” means to fetch a form still invisible out of a block of material, may it be marble, wood or clay – or figuratively, out of an empty canvas or even the vast realm of sound itself. That this form is invisible yet doesn’t mean it wouldn’t exist … “to sculpture” means to remove the unnecessary until only the essential remains. Sound Sculptures therefore is the fitting name for this astonishing free jazz album worked by the excellent NYC jazz musicians Cheryl Pyle (flute and bass) and Max Ridgeway (guitar), as it has been carved out of the block with endless care for the essential, for the pure sound.
This shows itself first of all in the instrumentation and sparse use of effects: the sound is mostly carried only by rhythmic, syncopic flute and bass playing which in “Candle for Grace on Avenue B”, “Abundant Stream of Blue” and “Sound Sculptures” is complemented by Max Ridgeway’s wonderfully unobtrusive, sensitive guitar playing which matches it perfectly. Especially “Candle for Grace on Avenue B” is a great example for the interesting effects the clear guitar produces together with the slightly distorted, echoing flute sound. The divergency of sound here creates a haunting tension and dynamics, an almost etheric complexion of sound, wavering in the air like a disembodied memory, finally fading.
A notable feature in the arrangement of the tunes is an augmentation in the range and variety of the instrumentation: The first tune, “Everybody Is A Fool Sometime” is a lively flute improvisation of a single flute over a single bass line as well as the second tune, “A Fragile Sketch Of Smile”. But with every following tune, the number of flute and bass layers increases until this finds a preliminary culmination in “Sendai 8.9”. This rich, sonorous tune conveys Cheryl’s brilliant, clear flute tone over three bass layers. The following, wonderful melodious track “Path Of The Suspended Judgements” continues with the sounds of four flutes enwinding each other and a captivating, dynamic rhythm – all together evoking the association of a ride on a train.
A trademark of Cheryl’s work is her poems with their profound, very personal lyrics. “Life/Death/Life”, the only track on this album containing spoken word, is surely a key to interpretation, also with regard to the titles of the other tunes. Framed by two flutes, Cheryl’s voice, slightly alienated and distorted, becomes part of the music.
All in all, Sound Sculptures is a very beautiful, pure and touching album that goes under the skin, because the reduction to the essential opens up ear and soul for the things that in modern music so often are hidden behind too many notes and too pompous effects: our thoughts, dreams and fears that we carry inside and frequently try to fight back and that here are given a silent, yet insisting voice that speaks directly to our hearts and minds. It is an album that requires all the man or all the woman with all his or her senses, it requires honest listening and letting go with the flow. It shows us the mirror, it wants us to allow ourselves that fragile smile on our faces that we hide so often behind our mask. Although probably not many of us will be able to do that as gracefully as displayed in these eleven beautiful tunes."
