about

Cone of Confusion has been named among the France Musique’s top CDs of 2018.

"To an extent, the music here fits in comfortably with the improvisational lineage established by Dörner and many others, especially in Europe, over the last 20+ years: pensive, tending toward quiet, interested in superficially conflicting, overlapping and interacting textures and, here especially, some allusions to AMM, not so much in the actual sound-world portrayed, but in terms of general approach."
(Brian Olewnick, Just Outside)

"A fantastic record, filled with curves and swerves. The trio has a driving frictious nature that is fairly indelible."
(TJ Norris, Toneshift)

"Entre mélodies et harmonies, rythmes et matières, l’album est le fruit d’un travail sur «le fortuit, l’accidentel, l’inopiné, qui veut faire entendre que le monde continue de sonner dans le silence de l’environnement de chaque auditeur. L’écoute est construction de la pièce». De silences prédéterminés à des feulements cuivrés incroyablement modulés, l’oreille se déboutonne à ces paysages pianistiques tour à tour ensauvagés et perlés, impressionnistes et pointillistes."
(Bertrand Tappolet, Le Courrier)

"Le trio de Jacques Demierre, Axel Dörner et Jonas Kocher est très loin d’une idée de 'power' [...], il serait même plutôt dans une finesse voire une délicatesse d’écoute – mais le trio n’en est pas moins puissant, dans une puissance silencieuse, du moins mesurée, et il explore ou vit des territoires musicaux passionnants, dans le son, dans le timbre, dans la matière."
(Kasper T. Toeplitz, Revue & Corrigée)

"Après “Floating piece of Space” paru en 2016 sur le label de la Cave12, “Cone of confusion” enregistré en 2017, continue l’exploration improvisée d’une matière éruptive dans une tension soutenue par trois instruments qui ne forment qu’un seul corps sonore. On est parfois proche du silence dans une austérité qui aiguise l’écoute au-delà des genres. Et certaines des pièces sonnent telles des études concrètes tellement elles sont concentrées. La classe."
(Metamkine)

"L’idea suggerita dal titolo dell’album (così come dal quarto brano: Position of the head) pare essere proprio questa: la sorgente sonora non è individuabile nello spazio acustico del cono di confusione, i cui punti sono equidistanti dall’orecchio. Così, lo stile del gruppo è riconoscibile grazie al sound generato, piuttosto che da un idioma legato a un genere particolare."
(A. G. Bertinetto, Kathodik)

"Toto improvizační album dokáže v mnoha nečekaných ohledech překvapit i upokojit posluchače zkušeného s žánrem, avšak domnívám se, že může být klidně vhodné i pro začátečníky. Je to krásný shrnující příklad toho, kam se poměrně rychle v současnosti posunuly výrazové schopnosti tak klasických nástrojů, jako je klavír, trubka a akordeon a lze si při něm dle libosti testovat různé způsoby posluchačského radikalismu."
(Jan Faix, His Voice)

Made Out Of Sound
by Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt

supported by 6 fans who also own “Cone of Confusion”

Made Out Of Sound stands tall and proud in this sensational and sincerely compelling display of vigorous creativity. With the likes of Steve Reich in particular who was also using minimalism to convey perpetual meditations. It's really interesting to note here that there is this feeling (as others have already mentioned) of weightlessness or of levitation, the idiosyncrasy taking root inside your imagination.
