Toma Gouband rolls flints, stones, and pebbles around on snare drums. Courant des Vents is a quiet, but startling, forty-five minute collaboration with the acoustics of St Peter’s church Whitstable, a room rapidly becoming the Sun Studios of European free improvisation.
Gouband never allows his Neolithic clacks to coalesce into tasteful Steve Reich style rhythmical minimalism, but works instead the patterns the resonant replies of the sacred space suggest, tracing air shapes with the clunk of stone on stone, finally dissolving into a protracted rumble, as ancestral ghosts hover at the firelit fringe of our first music.
