It turns out that Patricia Brennan is not the only vibraphonist exploring ambitious concepts these days. On this album, Yuhan Su brings the idea of dual consciousness into music, with the musicians in her group often playing along two separate paths simultaneously.
Su was born in Taiwan and is now based in New York. Living in both those cultures at once gave her the idea to explore that concept musically.
There is constant motion and activity in this music often done in two contrasting tempos and volumes at the same time.
Clashing rhythms dart everywhere creating an effect reminiscent of the choppier aspects of Steve Lehman’s and Steve Coleman’s music, but in a denser and more expansive form.
