Shatter Resistant by Bettina Schroeder & Tony Irving
A fantastic, dynamic release by the duo of multimedia artist Bettina Schroeder (electric ukelele, lap steel and effects) and Tony Irving (arguably best known for the ferocious noise improv duo Ascension) on drums.
A fiery and ever shifting collision of ideas and quick thinking, with a sound-world that is parallel to No Wave, whilst being amorphous, fleet of foot and loose limbed.
Recorded with characteristic clarity and punch at Tigersonic's studio in London, and mastered in Alchemix Studios in Brisbane - this is an aural delight and just short of an hour in length.
