Reflections Vol 1: Let The Moon Be A Planet
RVNG INTL
8/10
LACK of a universal grand design means that two highly empathetic musicians can spend years in an orbit of mutual admiration without once connecting – even if they live in the same city. So it was with Steve Gunn and David Moore, respectively the guitarist/songwriter of an airy, modern, auteurist bent and the minimalist pianist/composer best known as the leader of Bing & Ruth.
Both are based in is their first together and the introductory record in RVNG Intl’s series of collaborative “reflections”. It started life with no plan as to what it might be – two artists with a similarly exploratory drive, drawn to calmness and clarity, for whom space and flow are defining elements, exchanging solo improvisations remotely to see what might develop.
