"Accidental Ornithology"
Sarah Belle Reid & Vinny Golia's brilliant improvisational album Accidental Ornithology is out now on Infrequent Seams!
Featuring Reid's trumpet, quarter-tone flugelhorn, modular synthesizer, & MaxMSP processing with Golia's quarter-tone contrabass flute, piccolo, & clarinet, their spontaneous exchanges shift between aggressive, delicate, unstable, and playful—music that refuses to sit still, where each moment feels both meticulously crafted and entirely unpredictable.
