| New York bassist Mark Dresser is on the cutting edge of extended instrumental technique, while 'cellist Frances-Marie Uitti's 2 bow technique (she plays with 2 bows in her right hand) has revolutionized the art of 'cello playing. Sonomondo is an album of exquisite 'cello bass duo improvisations. At times Dresser and Uitti sound like a string quartet, and at others like a small orchestra.
"Sonomondo is an amazing record of sonorous string experimentation. Frances-Marie Uitti exhibits her unique skill: a two bow cello attack. Dresser is master of the double-bass. The duo improvisations here are stunning and spooky, sizable sonic creations that explore the outer possibilities of both instruments. Sonomondo is an invitation to an entire new world of sound." - Tom Schulte, Outsight |
