notes
Orchestra Dim Bridges is the long awaited and much anticipated collaboration between creative minds Eyvind Kang and Tucker Martine. This beautifully crafted recording covers lots of musical ground, from fluid and melodic songwriting to deep and subtle avant-garde sonic explorations, and most places in-between. Filled with both delicate and aggressive surprises, each listen of this unique and subtle record reveals something fresh and new. Violinist, composer, and conceptualist Eyvind Kang is a member of Bill Frisell's Quartet, Secret Chiefs 3, Wayne Horvitz's 4+1 Ensemble, and has worked with John Zorn, Beck, Marc Ribot, Arto Lindsay, and Ikue Mori. He also has 3 groundbreaking recordings of his own out on John Zorn's Tzadik label, and is one of today's most unique voices in creative and experimental music. Producer/Sound Alchemist Tucker Martine is also a member of Wayne Horvitz's 4+1 Ensemble and appeared on the Sam Rivers/Julian Priester record Hints on Light and Shadow. His first release, entitled Mount Analog, was released in 1996. More recently he has released another Mount Analog record entitled New Skin, and a very well received record with avant-piano man Wayne Horvitz entitled Mylab. An accomplished producer and sonic visionary, Tucker's collaborators include artists such as Bill Frisell, Laura Veirs, Robin Holcomb, Jim White, and Jesse Sykes. In addition, several records of his field recordings have been released including Bush Taxi Mali and Moroccan Reveries.

- author: unhelpful brush
Beautiful at times and noisy at times. Kang is always surprising and this album is no different. No real thread of consistency or theme within the album as a whole--with the possible exception of the use of short song forms, which stands in contrast to Kang's other works like DYING GROUND or VIRGINAL COORDINATES. In some way, it seems like the composers built each composition using a different technique, style, or strategy in mind.
