This is one of the more interesting collaborations of recent times in the experimental end of the spectrum. Jazz drummer Steve Reid’s list of “people i’ve played with” is enviable to say the least, and it’s great to see him hook up with one of the more creative electronic musicians of our day. Together they have released an album “Tongues” and are currently touring. The music is still evolving and tends to collide here and there but is pretty amazing overall if only for it’s melding of generations. Kieran (best known as Four Tet) is playing a bank of Dr. Sample units, which are inexpensive yet versitile (see first video below) phrase samplers from boss (no longer produced…try ebay).
