Shackleton - Primal Forms '2020

Tracks list

In a world seemingly hellbent on tearing itself apart, it makes perfect sense
for two musicians from such disparate backgrounds and disciplines to come
together to create a new musical vernacular. Sam Shackleton, returning on Cosmo
Rhythmatic after his previous outing on the label as Tunes of Negation, and
Polish clarinetist/multi-instrumentalist Wacław Zimpel have joined forces.
Their offering is a new album for the label: three long tracks of spiritual
introspection and ascensional energy. A work of unison and solidarity.

Both boasting a track record of successful collaborative projects, the two
artists have united after being introduced by mutual friends, in wake of a
shared interest in minimalism and a broad set of influences rooted in different
musical traditions. Joining Zimpel’s demanding multi-layered experience
in Avant-garde jazz with Shackleton’s mathematical, esoteric lyricism,
the pair have used all the tools at their disposal, aiming at a new form of
ritual trance music. This fierce fusion of styles brings out the very best in
each other, showing unique clarity and force. Miss it at your peril!
