Jake Meginsky – Trinities LP

A four-piece suite heavily inspired by jazz drummer Milford Graves’s notion of the primacy of threes as “a fundamental pattern in the universe – and the lowest, strongest and most generative structure in rhythm”. The album showcases Meginsky’s adventurous vein of pointillist minimalism: stark, oblique, cerebral, fluid.

It’s free music in both form and function, liberated from rhythm, pattern, or expectation. Abrupt flurries of metallic reverberations ping and echo against charged silences like avant-garde morse code. Textures clang and hang in low-lit air. Presence and absence commingling in elusive ballets of resonance and negative space.
