Details:
Kurt Newman, hollowbody electric guitar
Mike Gennaro, drums and selected percussion
Recorded live May 27, 1999, at the Music Gallery, Toronto. TempoTempo is the debut release by Toronto free improvisation duo Wrist Error. It is a relentless barrage of tiny, skittering sounds, silences, and a few oddly-timed blasts of skree. Percussionist Mike Gennaro and guitarist Kurt Newman, veterans of encounters with John Butcher, Mats Gustafsson, Eugene Chadbourne, and Fred Lonberg-Holm, among others, re-wire the microscopic scrape-and-pluck music of Roger Turner and John Russell for their own inscrutable purposes.
What the critics are saying;
Wrist Error’s music bristles with creative energy and uncanny intuition...The Chicago Reader
Newman and Gennaro''s improvisations on Tempo Tempo confirm that one musician''s familiarity with another''s tactical tendencies in a freely improvised setting does not necessarily result in discernible, let alone predictable, gambits. They apply ther keen reflexes to divert each other away from an obvious course, as often as they take cues from each other. They also place a considerable premium on forward motion, even in their sparsest passages...Bill Shoemaker, The Wire
