Hinton / Webber / Hinton - Simulacra - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Composer and drummer Colin Hinton's Simulacra exists at the intersecting edge of experimental improvised music and contemporary composition. Bringing together a band of crack colleagues from the fertile Brooklyn improvised scene, including Anna Webber, Yuma Uesaka, Edward Gavitt, and Shawn Lovato, Hinton's music has absorbed influences from people with whom he has a range of degrees of separation, including mentors Muhal Richard Abrams, Ingrid Laubrock, Tyshawn Sorey, and Eric Wubbels, as well as inspirational luminaries Anthony Braxton and Morton Feldman. InchHow does this singularity for which I am affectionate come to be expressed in what can only be simulated?Inch might be how Colin Hinton's Simulacra approaches it's realization. Simulation is captured singularity. Recording is one such procedure of capture. The singularity of performance transduced, thereby modulated, into simulacra-in-wav . Simulacra the record convokes in it's capture an affection for the mentors, community, and the lineages within which Hinton situates himself.Inch (Robert Grieve)
