Stephen Flinn / Bryan Eubanks - s/t

Water ripples in outward patterns with the slightest disturbance. Peaceful space is found within the live performance of Stephen Flinn & Bryan Eubanks, and like glassy surfaced bodies of water, their sonic energy sends waves through the conscious. The balance rests on patience and understanding. Their instruments easily have the ability to crash the tranquil spirit, but their wisdom of how these sounds are unleashed is true testament to their alluring symphony. Stephen Flinn is the force behind percussion and gongs, while Bryan Eubanks orchestrates both saxophone and electronics. The performance was recorded live from PAS-Berlin on March 17th, 2023. A half hour of subtle sonic gestures paring to create an aural world filled with stirring mystery. The comparison that comes to mind is the fourth track titled the "Searchers" on Jerry Goldsmith's Planet of the Apes OST. The live recording by Stephen and Bryan would have fit in beautifully here, adding a much more real and raw feeling to the desert foray.

Released by the label Public Eyesore on compact disc. Another addition for the label that pushes all boundaries and shares sounds challenging our comfortable spaces.
