about

A dub-infused, percussive cosmic wanderer featuring ECM artist and Supersilent member, Arve Henriksen, on trumpet.

«[‘Gestures’] begins with the assembly of a steady-state percussion pattern on bells and hand drums. It’s joined by the trumpeter Arve Henriken, improvising a solo that’s backed by loops and washes of his harmonized, electronically warped trumpet.»
The New York Times

«On ‘Gestures’... [Carmen Villain] returns to the searching ambient frequencies of 'Sketch for Winter.' Against reverberant percussion, she lays down a hypnotic groove, then pours aquatic tones over the top. Taut ornamental figures evoke North African reeds; flickering electronics suggest the presence of UFOs.»
Pitchfork

«[‘Gestures’] sounds like a field recording from a forest in space, Villain's primordial percussion, woodwinds, and synth drones underscoring the warbles of Henriksen's trumpet.»
The Fader
