Drifts and Surfaces
Boomkat Product Review:
Composer Elori Saxl's second full-length is pulled from three separate commissions, two for percussion ensembles that Saxl processes into watery chords, and one for baritone sax and glass marimba.
Following her 2021 breakthrough album 'The Blue of Distance', that worked with recordings from Lake Superior, Saxl wanted to consider different ways of interpreting her time living on Madeline Island, which sits on the lake. She was tapped by Chicago's Third Coast Percussion to write 'Drifts I', and imagines the water's constant motion by turning the drums' tiny fluctuations into liquid, drawn-out waves of harmonic sound. It's hard to even spot where the drums themselves begin and end, and they've vanished even further into the ether on 'Drifts II', a piece Saxl wrote for Brooklyn trio Tigue. Here, the snare drum rolls become cooled melancholy sloshes of ambience that freeze and crack like ice on the water's surface.
And on the final piece, 'Surfaces', Saxl joins forces with Henry Solomon and Robby Bown, who add baritone saxophone and glass marimba to her Guggenheim-commissioned composition. Saxl takes a different approach here, letting the sound of the instruments ring out far more clearly, and looping sugar sweet strings to compliment her collaborators' smooth instrumentation.
