Aesthetics by Serries / Verhoeven / Webster
This trio made up half of the band Tonus on the deliberate, glacial and minimal Monograph 50 (released on FEF last year). Aesthetics is a real contrast, capturing one day of studio and live recordings from Dirk Serries, Martina Verhoeven and Colin Webster, on acoustic guitar, cello and alto sax respectively. Though the dynamics ebb and flow, the players inexorably gravitate towards wrenching abrasive textures from their instruments in rapid pointillist flurries.
