Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s In These Times. Built from live recordings, the music is later reshaped by McCraven via extensive editing, overdubs, and post-production at his home studio in Chicago.The source material from each EP is drawn from moments of pure improvisation, recorded live in performance, shaped as much by the room and audience as by the musicians themselves.Techno Logic features Ben LaMar Gay and Theon Cross, and draws from performances in London (2017), Berlin (2024), and New York (2025), showcasing nearly eight years of developing rapport between the three musicians, starting with their very first session at Worldwide FM’s former North London studio.

Eight composers - Cecilia Diaz Pestano, Dori Diaz Jerez, Gustavo Diaz Jerez, Jose Luis Perdigon de Paz, Laura Vega, Juan Manuel Ruiz, Leandro Martin and Rubens Askenar - present a kaleidoscope of musical languages that reveals the vitality and diversity of today's creativity.

The works, inspired by motherly love, the sea, science, folklore and spirituality, show multiple ways of experiencing and reinterpreting the music of the islands.

We start by saying “Wow, this is very good,” then we listen again, and we come to the conclusion that Ségui sô (“Return to the Roots”) is an exceptional release. This is great, very great organic fusion between jazz, prog, and West Africa (Dogbo the Montrealer is originally from the Ivory Coast). I put Coubli, the previous album (2021), back in my ears to compare. In this one, Dogbo manifests the West African elements of his musical heritage with more presence. Which results in a relatively more typical blend of Afro-pop and jazz. Ségui sô is of a completely different mould. The fusion of the various roots is deeper and more intrinsic, allowing a completely different tree to emerge, and to bear quite unique fruit. Coubli looked more like a very successful grafting exercise, while Ségui sô is a testament to genetic-level coalescence.
