Owen Stewart-Robertson (guitar/compositions/champion), Myk Freedman (lap steel), Josh Sinton (bari sax/bass clarinet), and Jacob Wick (trumpet)

-
Architeuthis Walks on Land:
"A gelatinous blob with seriously evil arms" - -You think you know what the bassoon and the viola sound like, but you don't!
Amy Cimini (viola), Katherine Young (bassoon)

and here's some info about Natura Naturans, AWOL's new record:

>>Sawing, sputtering, gurgling and wailing, Architeuthis Walks on Land is every bit the displaced and terrifying cephalopod that the name suggests. The viola and bassoon are two instruments rarely associated with free improvisation and noise; yet on Natura Naturans Amy Cimini and Katherine Young rip it up with particular aplomb, weaving disjunct lines, constructing chaotic sound masses, and raising towering monoliths. Crafting their improvised materials into tight structures, the eight tracks on Natura capture the compositional, timbral and expressive breadth of this uncommon coupling: from divergently soloistic to profoundly intertwined playing, from a slowly unfolding intimacy to a jagged and kinetic style. Cimini and Young lunge and flutter through their materials with the intuition and energy of constant discovery.
