He's gruffly lyrical at the opening but soon opens out into his characteristic jagged runs, gutturally swerving around Lovens's clanging cymbals and Schlippenbach's Cecil Tayloresque torrents, before evaporating into soft multiphonics toward the end of the 40-minute opener.

But the piece certainly gives Kriikku the chance to display all his tricks, from multiphonics to multi-tonguing, and from one extreme of register to the other, with quarter tones thrown in along the way.

The two musicians do not demonstrate instrumental pyrotechnics, except from the occasional multiphonics by Kornstad, but lots of precision and creativity in bringing very modern jazz based on folk tradition, keeping away from cheap sentiment, managing to be rich and restrained at the same time, true to the source material and so free at the same time.
