Not The Wind, Not The Flag - (Barnyard Records)

Tintinabulum
Mike Chamberlain

Tintinabulum is a 38-minute piece performed by the duo of Colin Fisher and Brandon Valdivia that explores space, texture and timbre. Fisher, the composer, starts with a series of guitar chords that decay into silence, delicate yet visceral. After a few minutes, Fisher starts adding percussive counterpoint with bells, wood blocks, shakers, cymbals and traps, and as the piece gains momentum, even the subtlest of changes is delightfully startling. Gradually, however, Fisher and Valdivia move into noisier territory aided by electronic effects, and the performance ends in a most satisfying and rather metal-like climax. Gorgeous, this one sneaks up on you.
