<<Demonstrating that musical experimentation isnÕt necessarily difficult listening, the duo of guitarist Mary Halvorson and violist Jessica Pavone offers a refreshing album of playful and somber instrumental compositions (with two vocal songs), rooted in modern classical music with touches of improv. On certain tracks, they cycle between sustaining patterns and diving into freestyle moments, and on others (in particular the albumÕs final two selections) they create eerie moods with simple yet penetrating melodies. Brimming with ideas, odd moments, and proficient guitar/viola interplay, Prairies is both adventurous and inviting.>>
