TOMEKA REID, KYOKO KITAMURA, TAYLOR HO BYNUM, JOE MORRIS - Geometry of Phenomena

"On their fourth record Geometry remains a fully democratic quartet where structure emerges through collective intuition rather than fixed roles, unfolding in fluid, free-associative sonic architectures. Kyoko Kitamura moves between whispers, spoken fragments, and wordless vocalisations that hover at the edge of operatic expression, shaping an uncanny emotional field. Taylor Ho Bynum responds with muted brass lines that are at once lyrical and sharply etched, threading poetic intensity through the ensemble’s shifting textures. Meanwhile, Joe Morris and Tomeka Reid generate restless, interlocking currents of guitar and cello—angular, quicksilver, and subtly destabilising."
