About Mark Dresser, Fred Frith, Ikue Mori

Dresser (who's worked most notably with anthony braxton, tim berne, john zorn and bob ostertag ) is an interesting choice and much more of a jazzer than Frith's usual collaborators, and it's his presence that distinguishes this record from the later death ambient trios of mori, frith and bassist kato hideki. Dresser's unabashed virtuosity on his instrument and his dark, resonant yet springy tone meshes beautifully with mori's rhythmic matrices, prodding funkily one second, dropping to a buzzsaw arco drone the next. He also provokes frith into more expansive gestures than on the death ambient material.
