WILLIAM HOOKER

Complexity #2

(KOS) Used CD $6.00 (Out-of-stock)

Recorded live at the Knitting Factory in 2000 with Doug Walker on synthesizer, turntablist DJ Olive, and Eyvind Kang on electric violin. The forty-one-minute “Twelve Windows” meanders into focus from the ambiguous, primordial ooze from which all life sprang, and is greeted by Hooker’s intermittent percussion, staticky bleeps and bloops (mmmm, staticky bleeps and bloops), evolving through episodic miasma and other high-pressure natural selections, eventually erupting into an immensity powered by the passion and glory of Kang’s violin. A well-sculpted journey from this daredevil quartet.
