going: iii

Going's third effort is a joint release by Silent Water and Meakusma. Recorded in the span of one year in monthly recording sessions, it sees them venture off into a melismatic and contrasting contemplation on forward musical propulsion, '70s crossover jazz, and minimalistic and, at times, downright futuristic electronic music. Over the course of two spun-out, yet concentrated pieces, light and dark are built into a mesmerizing musical reverie that is equally as contemplative as it is explicitly emotional and confrontational. Melodic as well as rhythmic accents diverge and coalesce with ease and poise, a subtle yet incessant throb defining everything throughout. Going is the quartet of Giovanni Di Domenico, João Lobo, Mathieu Calleja, and Pak Yan Lau. Includes bonus download track "Ramen". Gatefold cover.
