Ahh... the arrival of a new batch of CDs from Portuguese label Creative Sources always holds many promises. For example, this new opus from percussionist Jason Kahn. This is a graphic score (as was Timelines) composed to bring together Kahn’s amplified resonating percussion and the strings of Vincent Millioud (violin), Bo Wiget (cello) and Christian Weber (doublebass). 60 minutes flat, graphic blocks of activity sliced into near-perfect 5-minute chunks defining simple interactions. The art of the musicians consist in making us forget this underlying structure, and they can say mission accomplished. Still, Sin Asunto remains a work based on limited (as in minimalistic) ideas and makes for an arid listen. But the hide-and-seek between Kahn’s resonances and the strings’ stretched out and scrached out sounds is captivating. - François Couture, Monsieur Délire
