Description:

Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist composer Tomin releases his first album of arrangements for ensemble, "A Wild and Conscious Balance"! Multi-instrumentalist composer Tomin releases his first album of arrangements for ensemble, "A Wild and Conscious Balance" on INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM! The majority of the album was recorded in one day at The Bunker in Brooklyn, NY by IARC house engineers Dave Vettraino and David Allen. members of Irreversible Entanglements, jaimie branch's FLY or DIE, and a truly impressive lineup. But the collaboration between Tomin and a group of seasoned musicians is unique and sets this piece apart from the rest of the composers' discography.Imagine the density of J.J. Johnson's arrangements stretched and stretched rhythmically like Thembi era Pharoah Sanders, or the grace of the Dolphy-infused bop sound of Booker Little's Out Front, or Bernie Maupin 's The Jewel in the Lotus, imagine the way the sound of The Jewel in the Lotus is put through the washing machine. With each listen, the comparative possibilities seem endless and unsatisfying, although there were certainly hints in this direction in Tomin's 2024 collection of solo recordings, Flores para Verene/Cantos para Caramina (simple, seductive chord progressions, laments, and a penchant for repetition), the sounds heard on this albumj take the listener to new places. A place that is both fresh and familiar. The group's exploration of simplicity is as complex as life itself.
