Title:  If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack Artist:  Greg Kelley Label:  Rossbin Format:  CD Price:  € 8.00   Mp3 samples:   1

Title Description:
Greg Kelley is mostly known in the world of improvised music for his work with people like Pauline Oliveros, Anthony Braxon, Le Quan Ninh, Phil Minton, Gunter Muller, Eddie Prevost, Kevin Drumm and Bhob Rainey as Nmperign and many many more. As a trumpet player he
produces some un-trumpet like sounds. I am not sure, but this might be his first solo recording that is available for a wider audience.
The one piece on this that spans over 36 minutes is for trumpet solo, but upon playing it, it's something that is hard to believe. It opens and closely with pans falling on the floor, which are the loudest sounds on the CD. In the first part that follows one might detect some blowing sounds in the trumpet (which are interrupted by what seems defaults in the recording process), but in the longer second part nothing as such can be heard. Here the trumpet is stretched out into long drone. I assume Kelley has been recording his trumpet
playing and then carefuklly edited the piece by cutting out all blowings. A bit like Phil Niblock does on 'Four Full Flutes', but Kelley goes further and nothing of the trumpet is to be recognized here. Not being a particulary big fan of trumpet sounds, I think this
is a great CD. The sheer minimalism is an absolutely beauty, even if you are no fan of either the trumpet or of improvised music. An excellent work. (FdW)
