Comment:
I have heard and reviewed many Martin Rach's outings but the
Lithuanian musician's brand new one surprises me again. I do not know
is it either an anthem to the washing machine or a swan song to it
but it is an intriguing outing due to improvised themes and downbeat
and free jazz inflicted progressions. Yet it is not an ordinary
example of free jazz because one can feel it is slightly deviated
from it because of a more loose and scatterbrained approach. More
profoundly, it is like a DIY instance of free jazz. It contains 17
notches which used to drift between sober milieus and frantic
outbursts, at times more predictable, at times less. At
Wash My
Soul5 (but not only) you can hear the growling drone being
surrounded by natural sounds or it can be understood otherwise
recorded unplugged and in a natural ambience. I suppose the sound of
drone is created by the mouth of Martinas Rakshtinas himself,
however, thereby having no idea how it should be named if the human
being tries to mimic the sound of an artifical object. For sure, it
is not lycanthropy on its own. The latest fact of natural ambience
can be broadened to the rest of the tracks as well. In a word, I like
the whole very much.
