about

Marc Ducret, acoustic guitars

credits

released May 4, 2013

Recorded at Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Umbertide, Italy
on May 31, 2011 and in Matthieu Metzger's kitchen
on February 24, 2012.
Cover design by Corinne Troisi & Stéphane Berland.

In January and February 2012, Marc Ducret presented the music of the « Tower » cycle during a solo tour of Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.
"Playing the music of «Tower » on my own, having previously performed it with a quartet (see volume 2), a quintet (see volume 1) or a sextet (see volume 3), is a way to bring out certain aspects of the compositions, certain possibilities for development that are distinct from working with a group. Solo improvisation allows faster decisions, and the building of « bridges » between pieces; it is also an opportunity to re-assemble parts of different pieces in a totally different order, offering a new vision of the same music."

Listening to this again today and it's terrific. This is different from most solo saxophone albums in a good way. Great melodic lines played with Tim's unique dark alto sound. Really like the track Curls. torzano

I remember seeing Bloodcount play at Leeds Irish Centre about this time…the band very nearly outnumbered the audience… but it was one of the best gigs (out of very many) I ever saw and the band were terrific…on fire…25 years ago!! Who says you can’t time travel? This rediscovered recording took me right back…what a find! Thanks Tim…Love & Respect. Marc Ducret? My wife remembered his “scary sunglasses”… John Cratchley
