Shards is a oneness of performance and transformation, transformation as performance. As Jason Moran and Marcus Gilmore play, BlankFor. Ms records micro fragments of time and sends them back to his collaborators sped up, slowed down, reversed, broken into ever tinier grains of data and smeared into a sparkling blur. Moran and Gilmore receive glimpses into their immediate past, or even further back in time, like they're playing into a broken mirror - not just cracked in it's visual plane, but in the sense of it's shards shattering time and light, showing them past and future. Transparent Vinyl

BlankFor. Ms/Jason Moran & Marcus Gilmore / Digital meets analogue. This unusual trio album combines electronic musician and tape loop specialist BlankFor. Ms with MacArthur fellow pianist Jason Moran and the wizardry of drummer Marcus Gilmore. The electronics interact with the piano and drums in real time, by spontaneously recording loops grabbed on the fly and re-infusing the sonic planes with various effects, resulting in sounds and energies rarely heard before. Transparent 180g Heavy Vinyl 2xLP
