Robyn Schulkowsky/Nils Petter Molvær, 'Hastening Westward' (ECM)

Sunday, November 7, 2021, 5:52pm (full listen)

Had no idea this even existed before stumbling across it at Amoeba in Hollywood a few weeks ago. RS recorded an album called 'Percussionist Sonfs' - works of Christian Wolff - and I derived from it one of the most lasting musical notions of my life, so I am always eager to hear more of her work (I'd still love to get the CDR she did with Derek Bailey not long before he passed). The disc presents this as a duo album, but it seems like it was more a solo RS album that ended up needing another element, in this case NPM (the liner notes - some of the best I've ever seen a, courtesy of ECM regular Steve Lake explain this, but the presence of numerous solo percussion tracks and RS's composition credits also reinforce this actuality); the music is good, sometimes a bit boring, and occasionally inlcudes some of the hoarier cliches of the "classical/new music percussionist recital", but overall and interesting, well-packaged, and worthwhile disc.
