Yugen

This album traverses the boundaries of traditional folk, world music, modern classical and experimental jazz, and is by turns deeply textural and highly melodic, creating an oxymoron for itself: rich minimalism. Drone, harmony, unison, counterpoint, devotional, microtonal variation: countless terms from the musical lexicon can be applied, yet not even in combination, never mind each alone, can begin to capture the music the duo (and sometimes trio) produces.
