David Torn is a musical chameleon, moving effortlessly from soundtrack work to pop projects to edgy improv, extending his guitar with electronic programming, sampling, and overdubs. Here he sets out at the helm of an improvising quartet with some regular partners from the New York Downtown School (saxophonist Tim Berne, keyboard player Craig Taborn, and drummer Tom Rainey) and then transforms the results with live sampling and extended studio tinkerings until the present set of pieces emerge in all their fractured and compound glory. Sounds morph suddenly into other sounds—-funk into heavy metal, guitar into radio wave, drum into bass–and time stretches and contracts. The extended band tracks are scenes of continuous transformation, like "Structural Functions of Prezens" in which the naked acoustic sweetness of Berne's alto is eventually joined by its spectral, sampled other, or the rapid chatter of Rainey's drums is set against a world sinking in time, with tones oozing lower and drifting into stasis. Always a master of compound textures, Torn here extends his guitar and the quartet into a utopian orchestra between the human and the machine.
