On a perfectly smooth surface of silence, three hurled stones create their patterns of waves. The lines intersect, unite, cancel out, or reinforce each other. Sometimes, they form together a harmonious pattern. At other times, they express the beauty of chaos and entropy. But they always remain in relation to each other - no movement goes unanswered. No energy escapes into nothingness.

These three stones are Scratching Fork. Three musicians with different characters, histories, and registers. Marek Malinowski's guitar and compositions resonate with the full spectrum of harmonies and dissonances, acoustic variations, and powerful riffs. To these sounds, Wojtek Zadrużyński adds rhythmic play and tonal colours on the drums. Robert Rychlicki's double bass provides the complement and foundation for those musical journeys.

Their music, recorded on their second album, is a series of raw sonic journeys through the realms of jazz, rock, and free music. Consistently avoiding staying in one genre for too long, Scratching Fork communicates its emotions, energy, and sensitivity to the listener. They hope that in the expanding circles of waves created by their sounds, listeners can immerse themselves for a few moments longer.

A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up! jyrki63

Friendship: Lucid Shared Dreams and Time Travel

A fantastic recording that documents the joy of two musicians I love for their unassuming way of playing together... Daniel Carter is one of the most underrated contemporary woodwind players, and Jessica Ackerley has brought back my enthusiasm for listening to guitar in recent time. jiristepan
