"Sound Energy in Space"
Released: July 2019 CD + Digital
The second release from a Chicago based Trio featuring ten original pieces by guitarist Dan Phillips that lean heavily on group improvisational skills of Timothy Daisy on Drums and Krzysztof Pabian on double bass. Three of the pieces feature the planetary magnetic field sounds recorded by NASA’s Voyager space probe.
Although this is only the second release for this unique Trio, Krzysztof and Dan have 20 plus year relationship and he is also a member of Dan’s “Chicago Edge Ensemble” which released two critically acclaimed recordings ” Decaying Orbit” in 2017 and “Insidious Anthem” in 2018. He is also a member of the Dan Phillips Quartet. Dan, Tim and Krzysztof also released another critically acclaimed Quartet album ‘Converging Tributaries” in 2017 with Trombonist Jeb Bishop, the well known figure in the Chicago experimental/free jazz scene and has performed extensively with all members.

Reviews
“Dan is a surgical technician when he wants to be, paring his notes down to their molecular formulas “A Once Forested Hill” and “Void Illusion” or he opens up possibilities with some indulgent abandon.”
