about

Kyle Bruckmann's long running avant chamber ensemble returns with the core lineup of Bruckmann (oboe, english horn), Jason Stein (bass clarinet), Jen Clare Paulson (viola), Anton Hatwich (bass), and Tim Daisy (percussion) joined by Darren Johnston (trumpet) and Jeb Bishop (trombone). …Awaits Silent Tristero's Empire is a sprawling, kaleidoscopic “musical phantasmagoria” inspired by the novels of Thomas Pynchon, anchored by instrumental settings of fictional song lyrics found in V., The Crying of Lot 49, and Gravity’s Rainbow. It is made possible with support from Chamber Music America's 2012 New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development program funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and was premiered at the Outsound New Music Summit.

More about the development of ...Awaits Silent Tristero's Empire can be found on Kyle Bruckmann's site.

CD in a cardboard letter pressed sleeve by Krankpress SSM-014.

Manual
by The BSC

The definitive document of a critical juncture in improvised music. A heartening instance of peers eloquently asserting their place in the Grand Narrative by, well, writing it themselves. Kyle Bruckmann

STRATIC
by stratic

A thoroughly distinct Bay Area take on another possible facet of 'eai' (electro-acoustic improvisation). Feisty, confident, flecked with surprising streaks of krautrock... Kyle Bruckmann
