Like many birds all three musicians are natural mimics: Scott's analogue synthesizer often sounds like voice and percussion, Gordoa sound calls to mind both voices and electronics and Wassermann’s hybrid instrument of voice with a variety of bird whistles blends so exactly with this sound world that it is sometimes almost a shock to remember that what we are hearing is a human voice. All three go beyond the superficialities into other sound worlds, populated by the multifarious sounds of many other instruments, and of birds, mammals, insects and other organisms that are harder to identify. One pleasure is that they often come together to form something like a composite sound environment; parallels with forest and jungles and other natural habitats seem inevitable and it is almost surprising when out of this highly virtuosic bursts of highly contemporary sound announce themselves. It morphs, forever changing its shapes and surfaces - it delights in the surprise of letting go of one moment in order to embrace the next. There is a sense of generosity; an openness of all the performers not only to each other but to the potential of sound in general. The trio is able to negotiate many twists and turns, continually opening to new possibilities and combinations. If the overall sense is one of playful and joyful exploration, the listener is left in no doubt of the seriousness and musicality exerted at every twist and turn.
