The unconventional instrumentation combined with the strong-minded personalities of the four experienced improvisers, all equipped with inventive extended techniques, and the high-energy dynamics of KnCurrent turn this ensemble into a restless sonic lab in which timbre is a musical factor on a par with pitch and rhythm. KnCurrent creates its own collective – polyneuroceptive, as one of the pieces is titled – voice and nuanced textured tapestry of sonic collisions.

The album KnCurrent is destined to get people talking about it, even if it doesn’t belong to what is commonly defined as mainstream. Between violins, guitars, saxophones and invented instruments, the four musicians will delight fans of this complex but engaging musical genre. The music contained in the grooves of this soon-to-be-released album is made of pulsating matter, lived life, piercing abstractions and atoms of beauty stripped down but present in abundance. It is not background music or for distracted listening. Instead, it requires dedication. Try turning off your cell phones and starting your, as they say today, listening experience. And let it be a genuine one

A new patrick brennan quartet explores the uncharted territories of sound with key improvisers to explore concurrently open areas where instrumental hierarchies are erased. KnCurrent does not impose form; rather, it emerges from the simultaneous intersection of mobile pulses, textures and sound architectures. It is simultaneity in combustion.
