lamenti dall’infinito

“If this quartet most resembles a jazz band among these Berlin recordings, it might be in its speculative assembly. […] It’s akin to a novel, Julio Cortazar’s Hopscotch, designed with multiple reading sequences, or Nanni Balestrini’s Tristano, in which the order of paragraphs is different in every single copy.”
—Stuart Broomer (liner notes)
