"Reduction! - you might think, hearing the first sounds
of this recording. Huebsch transforms noise into tones,
he peels pulsations out of sound textures und condenses
them ino rhythmic structures, he braids individual lines
into polyphonic, multi-layeres formations. He breaks the
dominance of pure noise by modulating timbre and pitch. [...]
Huebsch is perpetually aware of the dangers inherent in
quotation and free-form playing, of the difficulties of
musical creation in a time in which the material itself
has long been thoroughly investigated and dramatic
shaping has acquired a new dimension.
His musical point of reference is not so much jazz as the
tradition of sound improvisation, a tradition he seeks so
gently to reacquain with rhythm - without however, borrowing
from conventional sources: no jazz, no typical brass music.
But no reduction either..."
