This long-awaited debut solo release fearlessly showcases the acoustic bass against a virtual obstacle course of jaw-dropping electronic sounds. The music of "KIM CASS" was composed and performed entirely by hand with no sequencing. A unique polyrhythmic language is intuitively arranged and precisely executed to create the illusion of constantly shifting tempos. Each piece is held together by a single tempo; nothing is rubato. You must hear it to believe it.

Evan Woodle’s debut solo drum set work, “Nth,” certainly contains evidence of the impressive level of musicianship that you might expect from a thoroughly trained and deeply knowledgable modern-day drummer with a jazz background; the minimalistic, symphonic-like drum piece demonstrates impeccable technique, masterful dynamic control, and the intelligent use of odd and superimposed time signatures. Behind the perfect execution, however, one can sense a foundation of honesty and humility in the performance. It’s Evan's unique voice and mature artistry that makes this twenty-one minute composition stand out. "Nth" is technical skill meets truly inspired innovation. Subtle, patient, and tastefully orchestrated, it plays devils advocate with its own compartmentalized variety of timbres, walking us through what feels like the entire range and depth of human emotion. Each section is contained while also being unpredictable resulting in a shifting rhythmic landscape that takes us from one view to the next at the exact moment that we need it. Pulsing and pleasingly repetitive, with twists and turns, “Nth” is worthy of hours of intellectual analysis, usable as a driving emotional soundtrack for intense philosophical thought, or most fittingly as a one-of-a-kind listening experience.

Evan Woodle - "Nth"

How Glass Is Made is the first installment of Raymond’s “Modern Achievements” series. It pays tribute to three entries from a 1903 encyclopedia of the same name that was discovered at Seattle’s Fremont Sunday Market.

The work combines an unconventional instrumentation with diverse improvisational and compositional approaches to sonically re-imagine the early processes of industrial glass manufacture from rough minerals to glossy form. The music transitions continually from raw and abrasive to harmonically-rich and orchestral.
