Facet

FACET blends their prepared and modified instruments to slowly evolving drones and textures.
Since their first release "conscious mental field recordings" they toured Europe and are working on the second album.

Thick resonating vibrations from the bass of Norwegian Adrian Myhr make common cause with the microtonal timbres emanating from the clarinets of Paris’ Joris Rühl as well as the twanging distortions
creaking scrapes and signal-processed electronic pulses from the guitar of Köln’s Maciej Sledziecki.
(Ken Waxman, Jazzworld)
