Hübsch Martel Zoubek - [excerpt, part 2]

This tri-national unit stopped on their way to the Guelph Jazz Festival for this show, offering an intriguing mix of Carl Ludwig Hübsch's tuba, Pierre-Yves Martel's viola da gamba and Philip Zoubek's synthesizer, with plenty of extended techniques to go around. Moving from a drone to warbling purrrps to breath-pffts to plucks to three-way sputtering, there's something scintillating about such radically-different instruments zoning in to work in similar tonalities. (Their new Otherwise album is highly recommended.)
