HONSINGER/CALOIA/ZUBOT - In The Sea

"Double bassist Nicolas Caloia and violinist Joshua Zubot bring brio and care to Honsinger’s pieces, which draw from classical music, Italian folk, and his aforementioned slapstick aesthetic, loads of nonsensical singing alternately limning pretty melodies and harnessing pure chaos. Improvisation and attuned interplay between the players define the music more than the composed themes—it’s sometimes hard to know when one composed piece ends and the improvisation begins."
