Patrick Shiroishi & Piotr Kurek - Greyhound Days, album review


Collaborative Calm and Curiosity

Certainly a calming experience listening, and the 'curiosity' is an alliterative title trick but prompted by a genuine sense that the two players are exploring with their soundscapes as we do as listeners. The players and their instruments are

Patrick Shiroishi - tenor saxophone
Piotr Kurek - digital piano, keyboards, electric bass guitar

and their music is an ambient rolling wave, repeating. The saxophone is sonorous rather than ever loud and rasping, and this is a calming sound with the keyboard delicately layering in and out of this musical breathing. 

All is mostly deeply soothing, and on Breath, Held there is some playful sound effects to smile amonsgt this restfulness. 

I am at a peaceful ease after this first listen.
