A fleeting dialogue between cello and voice. This minimalist chamber music conveys a sense of expansiveness and power that defies confinement, in stark contrast to the tension typically associated with performances for a small audience. We’ve received a cassette album from Melbourne’s avant-garde music label *A COLOURFUL STORM*, featuring improvisational musician ABBY SUNDBORN, who is active in the DIY underground scene!

Led by “Rework” (sample 1)—which contrasts carefully considered bowing with beautiful harmonies—this album features cello performances imbued with an exploratory sound that balances a classical foundation with an emphasis on intuitive sensibility. In particular, on “Shed” (sample 2)—a highlight of the album—she incorporates her own voice; the tension created by the pauses feels open rather than claustrophobic, and her masterful sense of time is brought into sharp relief, creating a truly breathtaking moment. With minimal processing, the raw, unadulterated space is captured in its purest form. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
