Meaning

Roil is a collaboration between pianist chris abrahams (the necks), bassist mike majkowski (splinter orchestra), and drummer james waples (three omegas). Formed in 2007, the Sydney based trio has been developing it's own approach to jazz improvisation. 'meaning' is it's first release and was recorded in one uninterrupted session on the 2nd of april 2008. There is a controlled elegance to roil's music - not that this precludes the energetic. The music has an eddying quality that moves between group utterance and multi-stranded counterpoint, a weaving of textures that coagulate to form unified phrases before dispersing once more into the churning invention. Tracklisting: 1. Foal 2. Gasdia 3. Fauna of the tiles 4. Food and board 5. I am into 6. a jade.
