In this implicitly special collaboration, Floriculture’s
music takes
shelter in the quietude of Patrik Bolecek’s visual motion
art.
Floriculture
Carl
Maguire’s compositions as played by Chris Mannigan,
saxophone, Stephanie Griffin, viola, John Hebert, bass, Dan Weiss,
drums, and Carl on Rhodes. Overall, the band sound aims to envelop
the listener in an unfamiliar yet inviting space. To magnify and
stretch so that what would be solid may appear porous and vice
versa.
As Budd Kopman says in All About Jazz, "the composed
sections appear, then blend into the improvisations, which then
mutate back into composition. No sharp lines demarcate anything,
and 'Denizen Green' is a major statement of compositional technique
and improvisational ability. The band shows itself to be an organic
unit that evolves with the music. Each piece gives no hint where
it is going to go, creating a palpable tension as the [music]
proceeds, since the sense of compositional unity created by he
theme keeps building, while at that same time that same feeling
is being pulled apart by the improvisation of the players."
