Maar

It’s hard to understand how music that’s so minimal as to feel like a geometry diagram can provoke deep feeling – but this 30-minute improvised micro album by trombonist Turton and alt-R&B vocalist Solomon really gets there. Solomon’s vocals are wordless, just tones placed like dots, lines and curves, as are Turton’s tones. A few micro-flurries of digital echo here, a little pitch shift there, but ultimately it’s about their mutual perfect placing of notes in the moment – an abstract painting in four dimensions unfolding before you and drawing you into its strange mathematical wonders.
