Consensual Fault by T.J. Borden / Kyle Motl

Improvised music for cello and contrabass, where rapidly shifting textures give way to a post-Lutoslawskian melodicism tempered with a fondness for harsh noise.

Kyle Motl is a bassist, composer, and improviser described as “spectacularly adventurous and dynamic” whose playing is noted for both its “iridescent delicacy as well as abrasive force” (The Wire). His music "promise[s] to change us by revealing things we could never have imagined” (Free Jazz Collective).
