‘Stands out in Davies’ discography in that, at an hour long, it is the most expansive of his recorded solo improvisations. Listening to the piece, one is struck by how he structures the overall trajectory of the improvisation. Utilizing a full arsenal of extended techniques, preparations, and bows Davies conjures up a wide string palette across the full sonic range of his instrument eliciting the sounds of everything from harp to prepared piano to groaning bass to guitar to string group. But for all of the technical mastery and timbral breadth, there is an overarching sense of structure and pacing which never flags for a moment’ (Michael Rosenstein, Point of Departure).
