Consisting of Patrick Shiroishi on saxophone, Kevin Sims on percussion, and Lucas Brode on guitar, Spherule Trio is a (somewhat) newly formed group playing free and guided improvisational music. This debut release was recorded during the pandemic year of 2021 and, like much collaborative music recorded during that time, was put together remotely. The musicians took turns recording base tracks for each song and layering subsequent parts over the bases. In addition, one piece of visual art was used for each track as a loose cue or graphic score to guide playing. The result is a set of "free improv" pieces that are slightly more directed than a lot of strictly improvisational music. Running the gamut from restrained and brooding to chaotic and whirling, these recordings showcase three musicians at the top of their improvisational game who show no signs of slowing down.
