KnCurrent by KnCurrent

“Current” conveys the idea of motion and transfer: of liquid, of electricity, of information. The metaphorical current of interaction and inspiration running between and binding together improvising musicians is at the heart of the aptly named KnCurrent ensemble, as amply demonstrated on their new album. KnCurrent is an electroacoustic quartet consisting of patrick brennan on alto saxophone – the sole acoustic instrument; Cooper-Moore on the hand-made diddly-bo; On Ka’a Davis on electric guitar; and Jason Kao Hwang on electric violin. The seven tracks feature the group weaving a variably textured tapestry of high-energy music, one in which timbre is a musical factor on a par with pitch and rhythm by grace of the extended range of sound colors available to their unconventional instrumentation. Throughout the album, KnCurrent speaks a unique musical language with a truly polyglot, collective voice. • Daniel Barbiero, author & musician
