John Palmer - Inwards (2010)

John Palmer's compositions are based on breath as heard through the bass flute, accordion, voice, and trombone. The instruments are extended to the limits of their capabilities and they all blend perfectly with Palmer's sensitive electronics. To quote Simon Emmerson, referring to Palmer in his introductory notes: "He has created an extraordinarily varied, colourful and sensitive world which invites and rewards our deep listening."
The performers are Antje Langkafel (bass flute), Sergej Tchirkov (accordion), Lydia Kucht (soprano), Yseult Jost and Domingos Costa (piano), and Vinko Globokar (trombone). And their performances are often incredible, as in Globokar's eccentricity and humor while tackling the sombre subject of the Balkan conflict, and Tchirkov's accordion which seems to come alive by emulating human breathing using the air sounds from within the instrument.
