Black Truffle
CD
September 2019

Performed by Meridian (Tim Feeney, Sarah Hennies & Greg Stuart) and Phillip Bush (piano)

“We are used to percussion playing a supporting role to the whims of melody, or serving as a tool for dancing. Here, though, it dominates, driving Reservoir 1's heady atmosphere as if indifferent to the demands of the piano's chords…The dramatic range achieved by such apparently limited means is impressive.” - Ben Cardew, Pitchfork Media

”Across the hour-long span of ‘Reservoir 1’, the constant, supple, reactive piano performance acts as the conscious element, while the trio of Meridian’s percussionists take on the role of a separate, unconscious entity pricking and hammering away at the buoyant sense of consciousness.” - Boomkat

Recorded at the University of South Carolina in December 2018 by Jeff Francis
