Keune, Stefan/dominic Lash/steve Noble
Fractions
German saxophonist Stefan Keune, alongside British improvisers Dominic Lash on bass and Steve Noble on drums, were recorded live at the Vortex in 2013. Known for his intense, unconventional playing, Keune explores overblown squeals and choked utterances, drawing comparisons to Evan Parker. Lash and Noble provide a dynamic, rhythmic foundation, creating intricate textures with arco bass, plucks, and cymbal strikes. The tracks build from quiet to intense, with 'Mélange' standing out for its energetic, crescendo-driven interaction.
