hooker / kang / horist - the season's fire
imprec133 - cd

this all-star trio features william hooker on drums, eyvind kang on violin and guitar and bill horist on guitar. sync'd up like they've been playing together for eternity these recordings represent a dramatic paradigm shift in the art of improvisation. these three thoroughly modern artists scan jazz, new music and noise – stretching it all out and putting it back together within the expansive boundaries of these tremendously compelling high energy recordings.

william hooker has performed as a leader of many ensembles of improvised and new music. accompanying musicians have included: billy bang, thurston moore, david murray, david s. ware, william parker, melvin gibbs, donald miller, dj olive, elliot sharpe, malachi thompson, zeena parkins, lee ranaldo, dj spooky, rob brown, roy campbell, mark hennen, steven bernstein, roy nathanson, jason hwang, glenn spearman, joseph celli, ellen christi and many more

eyvind kang's introduction seems to have come when he was still a student at cornish college. at this time he traveled to nyc to perform and tour with john zorn's cobra game piece. kang has since recorded and toured with john zorn, mr. bungle, secret chiefs, bill frissel, sun city girls, arto lindsay, wayne horvitz & many more.

bill horist has played or recorded with members of larsen, earth and the boredoms as well as bill frisell, wayne horvitz, kk null, matt chamberlain, trey gunn, chris cutler, kawabata makoto, trey spruance, eugene chadbourne, tatsuyayoshida, shazaad ismaily, climax golden twins, haco, illusion of safety, saadet tuerkoez, planktonman, jack wright, steve fisk, anla courtis (reynols) and many more.

wh: traps, percussion
lr: guitar, synth

as individual performers, william hooker and lee ranaldo are explosive. as collaborators, they are thermonuclear. a kinetic, avant percussionist and poet, hooker is one of new york's most important band leaders, having fronted groups that included david murray and david s. ware. ranaldo leads the improv supergroup text of light, whose fluid membership includes hooker, as well as christian marclay, tim barnes and mission of burma's roger miller — and of course, he's a co-founder of the indefatigably experimental sonic youth.

with the celestial answer, hooker and ranaldo have created a work of blindingly brilliant, elemental force. rays of white guitar noise penetrate clouds of analog synth; molten drumming blasts across free-form poetics. the dynamic is beautiful and inspired — a simple cold-fusion of intuitive interaction and boundless sonic freedom. these are thoughtful and emotionally attuned artists. open your ears and they'll take you on a soaring voyage through an ecstatic firmament, into the howling mouth of infinity.
