" data-original-title="" title="">Per G?rdin, Travassos, and Marco Franco want you to consider the possibility that we all possess a sixth sense, an inexplicable awareness beyond normal perception. Their album was recorded during a flurry of music making by Swedish saxophonist Per G?rdin in Portugal, which produced History of The Lisbon Chaplaincy (Creative Sources, 2017) and Oblique Mirrors (ibn Musik, 2015).

The suggestion of a sixth sense, or ESP, is a clue as to what the trio's scheme is on this recording. Spontaneous improvisation, yes. But they also give the impression this music exists apart from its analog wave or conversion into a stream of numbers. Gardin's saxophone glides as it keeps an almost constant chatter of energy throughout. Travassos keeps a smoldering cauldron of electronics from boiling over, as Franco is occupied with the business of herding a collection of percussive sounds. The energy center of the music is well guarded, as perception of it is oblique. The trio is juggling some musical spheres here, keeping an illusory dream aloft throughout. At least, that is what is imagined.
