The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators Reissue LP in Mono
13th Floor Elevators? Wow! Now you're really throwing down the glove. Haven't even thought about them since the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Come on all you hippies who has this LP or at the very least heard it..,
As part of Mephista, a collective trio with pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and laptop/electronic artist Ikue Mori, Ibarra flexes her improvisatory muscle. Entomological Reflections, their second release, demonstrates the affinity the three have developed. The spacious and mostly improvised pieces explore a variety of sonic textures and moods, which allows Mori's voice to cut through. All three show patience in their playing, allowing sounds to sustain and dynamic touches to mold the pieces. Ibarra employs a range of fluttering brushes, bells, and gongs, while Courvoisier strums and plucks inside the piano, to match Mori's mysterious sounds. "Cardiogram" starts with the repetitive plunking of piano keys, which Mori mimics until the piece reaches a dramatic crescendo of piano and cymbals. The unhurried impressionistic approach of Entomological Reflections, as the name implies, is meant to be contemplative, to absorb fully the heightened interaction between improvisers....AllAboutJazz
