Tomevski and Bukrshliev, trough the many formations they take part, are the definition of what you would call: frequent collaborators. But this is just the second outing as this particularly strange duo combination. Like the previous one, the material was also recorded in the small Macedonian town of Sveti Nikole, on a cold Sunday afternoon, in one take. Only the location changed: the first one was recorded in the studio of the local TV station [ТВ Свет], and this one is at the main concert hall of the town’s cultural centre. The change of venue dramatically influenced the end result, simply because there was a very different space to fill with sound: the TV studio was a relatively small insulated space, and the concert hall is big, empty and generous with reverberations. Instead of nine shorter pieces, now we have two half-hour long uninterrupted pieces of music where Tomevski and Bukrshliev make an inventory of the vocabulary for the continuously evolving improvisational language they share.
